The Fraunhofer IGB

At the Fraunhofer IGB we develop and optimize biotechnological processes and products for the environment, health, and industrial technology. In addition to contract R&D we offer our clients services in analytics and give advice on the introduction of novel technologies. Our customers derive from various industries as well as municipal, state (Länder) and federal authorities.

Application-oriented and interdisciplinary Our abiding goal is the direct translation of research results into sustainable cost-effective, and profitable processes and products for industrial practice. More than ever, the success of new products and processes is highly dependent of interdisciplinary and constructive cooperation between science and engineering. At the Fraunhofer IGB, experts in important fields such as chemistry, physics, biology and engineering work effectively together. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular profit from the synergies and multidisciplinary potential of our Institute. Our strength lies in providing complete solutions, from the test tube to pilot plants on industrial terms.
