Networking science and business
DESY's Innovation and Technology Transfer Department (ITT) identifies promising inventions, supports industrial collaborations, helps DESY researchers network with industry via clusters and interest groups, and supports spin-offs that develop out of research operations.
We create an ecosystem for innovation on the research campus. This includes networking with other knowledge-based organizations and research institutes inside and outside the campus, as well as with industry, with local, regional, and national government, and with the public.
We are responsible for the implementation of the innovation strategy at DESY. We promote knowledge and technology transfer in all its facets in order to bring innovations as quickly as possible to the market – and thereby make them available to society. We support start-ups and collaborations with DESY in the spirit of Open Innovation.
The Innovation Advisory Committee (IAC), an advisory team from industry, business-related science and business promotion, accompanies, comments on and evaluates DESY's innovation strategy and its implementation and meets once or twice a year.

ITT nurtures the ecosystem for innovation at both DESY sites in Hamburg and Zeuthen. For us, this includes active collaboration with various partners from science and research, including universities, research institutes, and cluster organizations.
Transforming Ideas into Products
It often takes a long time to get from basic research findings to tangible products or services. We are working on several projects, which aim to shorten this path and make inventions and insights coming from basic research more quickly usable for society.
