The market-orientated, tangible transfer of knowledge and technology shapes the nature and work of the entire Steinbeis network. Our centers make a decisive contribution to the success of our clients by providing them with direct access to existing know-how and the very latest research findings.
We foster partnership and knowledge-sharing between academic institutes and business. We do this by making knowledge and technology available at the source, adhering throughout to the rules of the markets and free enterprise. The key thrusts of the Steinbeis philosophy are:
|
Tapping into scientific research
Germany boasts some of the most advanced research bodies in the world. The Steinbeis network taps into this potential, providing companies with the means to access the very latest insights and findings of research and development – and use it directly and professionally in business. |
Expanding the transfer network
More than 800 transfer enterprises belong to the Steinbeis network. They specialize in a variety of fields and disciplines and most are headed up by professors based at a university, a university of applied sciences or a university of cooperative education. The network also encompasses a variety of centers run by self-employed managers, innovative companies and Steinbeis network partners. |
Making specialist knowledge available
The Steinbeis portfolio of services is flexible, geared to structural changes and the changing nature of markets. Steinbeis achieves this through expansion, ie, setting up new transfer companies, and continuously updating its existing product offering. |
Offering end-to-end solutions
With more than 4600 experts in its network, Steinbeis offers tremendous knowledge potential and a wealth of on-the-job experience in all fields of technology, business administration and end markets. It is this diversity of experience that allows us to offer end-to-end solutions matched to customer requirements. |
Keeping confidentiality
Every project carried out by Steinbeis comes with ultimate discretion and watertight confidentiality guaranteed. We only ever talk about projects or publish information when the customers have given their express permission. |
Acting decentralized
The Steinbeis network is decentralized and marked by flat, streamlined hierarchies. Each transfer company operates as a standalone profit center. Managers of transfer companies are independent and hold full responsibility for managing the project and relationship with the customer. |
Answering State requirements with private commercial solutions
In fostering the interests of economic development we see ourselves as a partner to the German Federation, German Federal States, towns, cities and local communities. |
