Steinbeis on a local level

Knowledge and technology transfer in and around Ulm

Ulm and the surrounding region is one of Europe’s strongest economic regions. The manufacturing industry continues to be strongly represented in the region, while both the research and development and the services sectors have grown strongly in recent years as a result of Ulm’s “academic city” initiative. The Steinbeis companies based in the Ulm region also contribute to its economic strength by actively promoting knowledge and technology transfer.

Steinbeis has been active in the Ulm region since the Steinbeis Foundation was established in the late 1960s. In pursuit of its aim to ensure businesses can successfully make use of the latest scientific findings, Steinbeis works together with the following local partners:

Ulm University of Applied Sciences – The university’s strength in technology, IT and media is down to its close partnerships with business. This ethos is lived out in the university’s research and development work, its further education programs, its research institutes and its several Steinbeis centers. Founded in December 2009, the jointlyowned company Steinbeis Transfer Centers at Ulm University of Applied Sciences has further strengthened the university’s collaboration with Steinbeis.

Ulm University – Ulm University is the youngest university in the German state of Baden-Württemberg and is one of the cornerstones in Ulm’s reputation as a researchoriented academic city. Ulm University successfully conducts basic and applied research in a wide variety of fields.

Neu-Ulm University of Applied Sciences (HNU) – Neu-Ulm University of Applied Sciences offers a range of practice-based bachelor’s and master’s degrees in the field of management.
