Mastering challenges together – for a successful future
Dear reader,
The coronavirus pandemic dominated the year 2021, challenging people worldwide on an unforeseen scale. Despite the difficulties, we were able to ensure continuity in our research projects and pursue them with our usual performance. The highlight articles in the 2021 Annual Report showcase our successful research work and the projects and activities we developed and pushed ahead with, along with their practical implementation.
A crucial topic that will take center stage over the coming years is digital sovereignty. In particular, it will be the key to the innovation capability and competitiveness of the German economy. It will involve a wide variety of areas, ranging from the development of hardware to the use of artificial intelligence and its translation into applications. Strengthening digital sovereignty in Germany is a collective and comprehensive project to which Fraunhofer IIS is contributing with its broad know-how and proven expertise.
Meanwhile, important topics such as quantum technology, artificial intelligence and sustainable information and communications technology will remain on our agenda. It is our stated goal to strategically advance these subjects and develop practical uses to benefit our partners.
Enjoy the read!
