Bridging the gap between research and funtional technology

Fraunhofer Institutes work with industries in a variety of sectors and universities, globally, to scale up cutting-edge research into real functional technologies on an industrial timetable. Generally, the product development cycle shows a gap between the early stage research being performed in universities and national laboratories (such as National Research Council, Canada) and the product manufacturing stage which is done in industry. As this gap is affecting the pace of product development cycle, has been the focus of Fraunhofer Institutes for over 50 years. The current collaboration on IDT and teaming up with UBC and Canadian industrial clients will facilitate the movement of new research from the idea stage to the factory floor.
