The BTU Transfer Day, the traditional exchange between business and science at the BTU main campus, will celebrate its 10th anniversary on 18 November 2025. Make a note of this date and look forward to, among other things

  • Laboratory tours as innovation tours with different thematic focuses.
  • Funding information on the Central Innovation Programme for SMEs (ZIM) - at first hand from the project management agency AiF Projekt GmbH.
  • Wirtschaftsförderung Land Brandenburg GmbH (WFBB) will provide information and advice on Brandenburg's funding programmes and the MinGenTec initiative will present innovation cheques.
  • Two successful examples of ZIM co-operation show how team play between science and academia can stimulate innovation.

The highlight of the 10th BTU Transfer Day is the first presentation of the BTU Transfer Award in the category of research cooperation and infrastructure to a maximum of three collaborations between BTU chairs and cooperation partners.
