Technology Transfer ─ Innovations for economy and society
Research at the HZDR makes major contributions to improving cancer visualization and treatment, the sustainable use of resources, and a better understanding of matter and materials. To ensure that our ideas are applied swiftly, we cooperate with industrial partners and clinics, license our technologies to companies and launch new firms. We also pass on knowledge and expertise by opening our research facilities to third parties for joint use, making data available to others, and providing consulting services.
The Department of "Technology Transfer and Innovation" bundles all the skills and support services at the HZDR that are essential for succesful technology transfer – ranging from patent, innovation and contract management to technology marketing.

Review Hi-Tech Forum: Hi-tech meets high-end solutions
On November 4 and 5, 2024, the first Hi-Tech Forum, organized by the Transfer Department of the HZDR, took place on the campus of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf e. V. with an associated Hi-Acts network meeting. Over 100 participants networked for two days during the conference and at the networking evening event. The networking was framed by interesting keynotes and diverse pitches, the Hi-Acts Breakfast and guided tech tours to the accelerator facilities of the HZDR. The evening event at Schönfeld Castle was supported by the Saxony Economic Development Corporation and the HZDR Innovators School. With 30 companies and 10 research institutes was it a successful and important milestone for the establishment of the Hi-Acts innovation platform.
