Industrial Collaboration Hahn-Schickard is a mid-sized research institute (51-200 employees) focused on microsystems technology, with a strong track record in industry-driven R&D, manufacturing support, and cross-sector sensorization and system integration. This presents opportunities for co-development, contract research, and sponsored pilots with firms seeking advanced microfabrication and sensor solutions.

Public-Private Partnerships Recent and ongoing publicly funded projects (e.g., EthylenDirekt with CO2 capture and utilization) indicate readiness to participate in grant-backed collaborations. Targeting clients with ESG or decarbonization goals may align with Hahn-Schickard’s electrochemical and analytical capabilities.

Laboratory-to-Product Expertise Capabilities span from concept to final product, including lab-on-a-chip, microelectronics, and reliability testing. This end-to-end proficiency enables opportunities in industry customers needing rapid prototyping, pilot production, or qualification services for sensor hardware and micro-system assemblies.

Instrumentation Partnerships Existing collaborations (e.g., Notion Systems inkjet lab printing, large-scale manufacturing readiness, and analytical instrumentation) suggest a receptiveness to equipment- and process-level partnerships. Sales plays can target customers seeking high-precision manufacturing, additive microfabrication, or sensor integration hardware.

Global yet Regional With roots in Freiburg, Stuttgart, and Villingen-Schwenningen and a global demand for its services, Hahn-Schickard serves as a bridge between local industry and international research-led solutions. This presents cross-border selling opportunities, international research collaborations, and funded program participation for overseas partners seeking German engineering expertise.
