The Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research (Fraunhofer ISI) is one of the leading innovation research institutes in Europe.
Our expertise in the area of innovation research is based on the synergy of the technical, economic and social science knowledge of our staff members. In our work we apply not only a broad spectrum of advanced scientific theories, models, methods and social-science measurement instruments, but continually develop them further, utilizing the empirical findings from the research projects conducted.
Our research is aimed at tackling the challenges facing present and future generations. We make an active and relevant contribution to solving current problems at national and global level. We help to chart the course for industry, policy and society and provide strategic advice on innovations and transformations towards a sustainable future.
Our holistic systemic view is the result of including diverse perspectives and different societal stakeholders.
