In view of the global challenges currently being faced – such as climate change, environmental pollution, digitalisation, demographic change and public health – knowledge and technology transfer from research is becoming increasingly important. Innovations will be the key to overcoming these challenges.
Brain City Berlin takes a pioneering position at this important interface between science, business and society. This is because the high density of excellent universities, colleges of applied sciences and research institutions in the capital region makes it possible to translate scientific results quickly and purposefully into innovative products, processes and high-tech solutions. Evidence of this is the city's vibrant start-up scene, which is characterised by a large number of successful scientific spin-offs.
In a range of interviews, reports and news items, we present researchers and scientific institutions that are doing outstanding work in the field of knowledge transfer. We provide interested parties with an overview of the wide range of transfer services offered by Berlin's universities and colleges – and an insight into the diverse initiatives and funding opportunities offered by Brain City Berlin on the subject of knowledge and technology transfer.
