Come and talk to us about your innovation plans in the TU Graz Research and Technology House.
Examples of Cooperation
R&D projects with our experts achieve lasting success when we talk to each other – in person or by phone – about your innovation ideas and work out exactly what resources you need. Then we can choose the right institutes, the most appropriate form of cooperation and a suitable financing solution.
SCIENCE FIT helps small and medium enterprises in Styria to tap into the know-how of research institutions in the region, and also to get in touch with students and graduates. Members of the SCIENCE FIT project team will visit your company and find out what innovation needs you have. They can explain which forms of cooperation are possible for specific kinds of topics. The team acts as a neutral broker and is subject to strict confidentiality.

An essential part of the way TU Graz sees its identity is to act as a motor of innovation and to support economic development in the region. The TU Graz Research & Technology House has facilitated many publicly-funded programmes to promote knowledge and technology transfer in the regional context – mostly with small and medium enterprises in mind. The biggest of these programmes, which, taken together with its predecessors has now existed for almost 20 years, is SCIENCE FIT in Styria.
We have carried out further regional knowledge and technology transfer activities in Salzburg and Carinthia and also in regions of Central and Eastern Europe, for example:
Innovation Services of Intermediaries for Start-Ups and SMEsprovides a systematic overview of 16 innovation promotion programmes and 13 regional pilot projects.
