Overview

Fraunhofer IMM is engaged in research and development in the two fields of Energy and Chemical Technology (processes, reactors, plants) and Analysis Systems and Sensors (methods, components, systems). We organize our competencies in these two pillars according to the priorities Sustainable Economy and Energy, Healthy Living, Intelligent Mobility and Civil Security. The application portfolio includes fine chemistry, photo- and electrochemistry, nanoparticle synthesis / characterization, sustainable fuels, mobile energy supply, point-of-care/use testing, CBRN detection, cell isolation / handling, on-line process monitoring, neural signal recording/stimulation. With our system and technology oriented innovations we contribute to the competitiveness of our customers and partners. In doing so, we stand for responsible handling of new technologies and for sustainable development to benefit private and public enterprise as well as society.
