DLR's technologies and competencies may be developed from the idea to market maturity in collaboration with a business partner. One of the approaches offered by DLR's technology marketing unit in this context is transfer by a Strategic Innovation Partnership.

A Strategic Innovation Partnership (Science2Business®)   with DLR begins in the run-up to an innovation process. Together with its partner company, DLR identifies opportunities and systematically develops it into innovation projects. Long-term strategic co-operation between a company and DLR, whose competences complement each other, creates an innovation potential which, supported by the objectives of both partners, is ultimately realized.
