The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (FHG)
undertakes applied research of direct utility to
private and public enterprise and of wide benefit
to society. Its services are solicited by customers
and contractual partners in industry, the service
sector and public administration. The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft
maintains roughly 80 research units, including 56
Fraunhofer Institutes, at over 40 different locations
throughout Germany. A staff of some 12,500, predominantly
qualified scientists and engineers, works with an
annual research budget of over one billion euros.
Of this sum, more than € 1.200 million is generated
through contract research. Roughly two thirds of
the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft’s
contract research revenue is derived from contracts
with industry and from publicly financed research
projects. The remaining one third is contributed
by the German federal and Länder governments, partly
as a means of enabling the institutes to pursue more
fundamental research in areas that are likely to
become relevant to industry and society in five or
ten years’ time.
