Focus: A source of knowhow for industry

Apr 22, 2014 | RAINER KLOSE

In the middle between university and the market, there is a "no man's land". Projects can get stuck there caused by technological difficulties – or they can dry out from lack of funding. Empa has settled in this no mans land for years now, endeavored to get new technologies "on the road" together with our industrial partners. See some examples of this kind of work in our Focus: Technology transfer.
