Fraunhofer IAO

Our clients range from major corporations and SMEs to public sector bodies and institutions.

We offer you a distinctive knowledge advantage and show you ways of quickly adapting this knowledge to your specific needs and using it to make your business more profitable. Whatever the project, people are at the heart of everything we do – and we never lose sight of the social repercussions.

Our interdisciplinary teams bring together colleagues from a range of specialist fields, including business management and economics, computer science, engineering, natural sciences, and social science. They take a wide-ranging, holistic approach to analyzing key issues in order to pinpoint the most practical and feasible solutions.

We work closely together with our partner institute – the Institute of Human Factors and Technology Management (IAT) at the University of Stuttgart – as well as the Technical University of Berlin and a number of other institutes of higher education.

Combined, Fraunhofer IAO and the IAT employ more than 600 people and have a total of 15,000 m2 of office space, demonstration centers, and development and test laboratories.
