Steinbeis Transfer Centre
The Steinbeis Foundation was founded in 1971. It is named after Ferdinand von Steinbeis who made outstanding contributions to "modern commerce and industry" in Baden-Wuerttemberg in the 19th century.
Today, the Steinbeis Foundation is active in technology and science transfer all over the world. There is a special (but not exclusive) focus on small and medium-sized companies.
Driving innovation, generating stimuli and implementing ideas – these are the main intentions of the Steinbeis Foundation in a nutshell.
