Networks

With its Central Innovation Program for SMEs (ZIM), the federal government promotes cooperation on innovative products, processes or technical services in a technologically or regionally oriented network or along a value chain.

As a network management institution, we organize long-term cooperation and support our partners in formulating and implementing joint R&D projects aimed at marketable, technology-based solutions.
