With its clear focus on applied research and future-oriented key technologies, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft plays a prominent role in the German and European innovation process.
Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and Metzler have enjoyed a stable partnership since 2014. Together we have launched a series of events entitled "Innovation and Tradition – Metzler meets Fraunhofer" in which we offer select Metzler business partners and clients exclusive insight into socially and economically significant technological processes in the form of a business lunch. This provides a platform for dialogue between researchers and practitioners and can spark new ideas for developing adequate business strategies for the future. In order to enable an intensive exchange of ideas at a high level, the group of participants is deliberately limited to approximately 20 clients, depending on the topic.
