Steinbeis Transfer Center Technology Consultancy

Services

The objective of the Steinbeis Transfer Center for Technical Consulting is to support small and medium-sized enterprises in particular on issues of a technical nature. These are typically technology issues that cannot be mastered by virtue of in-house technical resources and systems.

Particular emphasis is placed on the provision of new scientific and technical know-how with the aim of raising productivity and the competitiveness of companies.

The Steinbeis Transfer Center for Technical Consulting is based at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences in Germany, and is increasingly involved in projects with industrial enterprises and the skilled trades. These projects include consulting, explorative studies, development and research services.
