Company description:
As one of 130 industrial research institutes, the TITK is an indispensable part of the non-university research landscape in Germany. A team of around 200 scientists, laboratory technicians, technical and commercial staff work at the institute and its two subsidiaries to carry out research and development work and provide various services quickly and competently. As a business-oriented research institution, the TITK conducts both preliminary and applied research in the industry-related field. Chemists, process and textile engineers work hand in hand with partners and clients to translate research findings into new processes and technologies quickly and in a market-oriented manner.
To ensure the best possible transfer to industry, technical feasibility and commercial success are evaluated at a very early stage. Thanks to this approach, several processes developed in-house have already been successfully transferred to commercial use.
The TITK supports small and medium-sized companies in their innovation efforts with interdisciplinary expertise, innovative ideas, industry knowledge and the provision of modern technical infrastructure. The aim of this collaboration is to develop processes and competitive products in accordance with the individual requirements of the client. They benefit from the fact that application-oriented research at TITK can be supplemented by new findings from basic research. This is guaranteed by numerous collaborations: TITK is an affiliated institute of TU Ilmenau, a partner in the Polysaccharide Research Competence Center and in the European Polysaccharide Research Network of Excellence (EPNOE), as well as being active in research alliances with Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences Jena and Friedrich Schiller University Jena.
