Steinbeis and Ulm University of Applied Sciences have been working closely together since 1970, the year in which the Steinbeis Foundation set up a technical consulting service at the university. With the signing of a cooperation agreement in 2009 and the founding of a jointly-owned company, Steinbeis Transfer Centers at Ulm University of Applied Sciences, this long partnership was strengthened further. Steinbeis is one of the university’s preferred partners in knowledge and technology transfer, and the partnership also allows the university to better publicize its transfer activities with businesses.
The Steinbeis enterprises that make up Steinbeis Transferzentren GmbH offer their customers sophisticated technology solutions that are specially tailored to their needs and delivered quickly. Technology transfer with Steinbeis allows university professors and staff to focus more strongly on applied research, thereby tapping into its potential to a greater extent. The practicebased nature of research projects as a result of transfer with businesses also adds practical relevance to the university’s degree programs and helps to generate relevant new topics for the university’s research.
