About the research institution
Fraunhofer EMFT conducts cutting-edge applied research into sensors and actuators for man and the environment. The core competences of the research departments in Munich and Regensburg with hundred employees include: silicon technology, flexible electronics, chemical sensor materials and the capability of system integration. Each of these core competences in its own right allows new kinds of sensors and actuators to be created. But the real strength of Fraunhofer EMFT lies in the interaction between these areas: after all, innovations often emerge where technologies reach their limits and begin to cross-fertilize. This enables the creation of innovative solutions for various business and application areas.
Business areas:
- Sensors and Actuators
- Flexible Systems
- Microdosage Systems
- Sensor Materials
- Design and Test
The most modern infrastructure and decades of experience allows Fraunhofer EMFT to develop forward-looking solutions that have already earned numerous international prizes and honors. Strategic partnerships and long-term cooperation with industry and with universities around the world underscore the scientific excellence of the institute.
Fraunhofer EMFT emerged as an independent research institution from the Munich branch of the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM on July 1st, 2010.
Facts and Figures:
- Founded in: 2010
- Employees (2012): 92
- Budget (2012): €10.7 million
