Strategic Initiatives

Fraunhofer IIS develops technological solutions that advance long‑term progress in science, society, and industry. To strengthen areas of particular future relevance, the institute pools its expertise in strategic initiatives. These initiatives represent areas with high innovation potential that are developed, interconnected, and expanded across the entire institute.

The goal is to establish new scientific and technological approaches early on and to translate them into marketable research and development achievements in the medium to long term.

Strategic initiatives are therefore core elements in sharpening the institute’s scientific profile, developing new service offerings, and preparing future applications for industry and society. They also underscore the institute’s commitment to identifying technological opportunities early and driving them forward in interdisciplinary teams.
