70 años de Fraunhofer

72 institutos y unidades de investigación. Una Fundación Fraunhofer

 

Impulsados ​​por nuestro espíritu de investigación, inventamos el mundo del mañana. Y el de pasado mañana. El futuro es la fuerza impulsora detrás de la Fundación Fraunhofer. Hacemos las preguntas correctas y encontramos nuevas respuestas: soluciones que son directamente beneficiosas para la industria y la sociedad.

¿Cómo construimos máquinas inteligentes en las que todos confían? ¿Cómo se pueden fabricar medicamentos para ayudar a los pacientes más rápido y a menor costo? ¿Cómo nos aseguramos responsablemente de que todos se sientan más seguros? ¿Y cómo sabemos qué respuesta es la correcta?

Como investigadores, empresarios y visionarios, nos vemos no solo como líderes no solo para la ciencia, sino también para la sociedad. Nuestro éxito se refleja en nuestra fuerza innovadora, en nuestros socios y empleado, y, no menos importante, en nuestros 70 años de historia. Avanzar en los temas del mañana nos hace sentir curiosidad por el futuro. Porque nuestra mirada ayer y hoy nos inspira a preguntar una y otra vez: ¿Qué sigue?

The history of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft

Foundation of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft on March 26, 1949

We have accompanied a changing world since March 26, 1949.

On a Saturday, at 10 o’clock in the morning, representatives of the state government of Bavaria, along with the state governments of Hesse and Württemberg and guests from the scientific and business communities, gathered in the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs at the invitation of State Secretary Hugo Geiger. A solemn ceremony on this day marked the birth of the Fraunhofer Society.

Its first 103 members laid the cornerstone for a tenet that characterizes us to this day: proceeding from ideas, we develop the innovations of the future.
