Transfer strategies for tomorrow’s society
Tutech creates added economic and social value through knowledge and technology transfer, since it’s today’s insights and discoveries that will shape our future. Take renewables, intelligent buildings, personalised therapy or autonomous vehicles – just a few years ago most of it could only be found in science fiction, but today it’s reality. Research creates possibilities and solutions when it comes to society’s challenges.

“It all begins with a meeting between Tutech, industry and TUHH partners. Cooperation is a driver of success, since when people work together their potential is cumulative; when they work for one another, however, their potential is multiplied.”
Professor Michael Schlüter
INSTITUTE FOR MULTIPHASE FLOWS, TUHH
“Tutech is indispensable for our cooperation with industry because it forms an ideal bridge between private enterprise and TUHH, which is part of the public sector. It is the only way of rapidly transforming research innovations into benefits for society.”
