Potsdam is an excellent location for science and research. For German standards, the city is unique, owing to its wide array of academic institutions, which includes: a university, a university of applied sciences, a college for film and television, 3 private colleges and 40 research installations, which operate independently of the university. The main areas of focus of Potsdam's scientific activities are:
• geo-sciences, climate research
• astro- and gravitational physics
• biotechnology and life sciences
• information and communications technology / media
• material science and photonics
• nutrition science
• humanities
A tightly-woven interplay of science and business shapes the economic life of the city: applied sciences and an economy closely tied to research meet each other here in the middle. The knowledge that springs from Potsdam's research institutions provides fertile ground for many innovative companies, and also forms a foundation for the development of new products and technologies. In addition, that knowledge serves as a motor for the region's economy and is also the key to the future viability and success of Potsdam as a science hub.
However, the prerequisite to success is an optimal transfer of knowledge and technology, and Potsdam is topped-ranked in this regard. Access to scientific know-how is made easier for innovative companies through the technology transfer offices of the universities, scientific institutions, and business facilities, in addition to selected branch transfer agencies.
We in the business development office support cooperative relationships between companies and scientific institutions on-site. Together with the transfer offices of the universities and branch transfer agencies in the iq-Brandenburg network, we also support you in the development of your innovative projects. We help you make the necessary contacts, do research, advise you on funding possibilities and guide you through to the successful implementation of your plans.
