The Management model of Fraunhofer is driven by the intermediary position between science and industry

The Fraunhofer model is

Demand driven thinking (close contact to industry)

Related to new ideas and fundamental research (close contact to universities)

Thinking in networks (making new connections)

Thinking in system approaches (life cycle analysis, etc.)

Universities perform excellent scientific research

Research cycle

Innovation cycle RTOs bridge the

innovation gap with technological R&D

Innovative companies create

new products

Intensive exchange with society

Societal challenge as future markets - being ready for global competition

Fraunhofer´s role within the innovation system

There is a need for a There is a need for excellent There is a need for companies

strong University infra structure to do who are committed to

sector with excellent prototype development and innovation (eg have trained

scientists the know-how to do applied staff and budgets for applied

research research

There has to be government support for innovation across the board and entrepreneurship

Fraunhofer´s role within the innovation system

FRAUNHOFER MODEL • Scientific excellence

• Key for competitiveness • Close collaboration with Universities

• Excellent R&D infrastructure to support SMEs • Wide regional distribution of Institutes within

Germany focused on regional industry needs • Financing Model - basics

• (33% base funding from State, 33% from public competitions, 33% from industry contracts)

• Now more like 10-20% base funding only, 30-50% public competitions, 40-60% industry funding

• e.g income 80% from contract research • Industry contract revenue as key performance

indicator • We are the Technology Transfer Organization
