Fraunhofer Center for International Management and Knowledge Economy IMW
Sutainably shaping the future of the chemical industry in Central Germany
Background
The chemical industry is facing a significant transformation process that requires an increased use of green hydrogen to break away from fossil resources. This makes it necessary to develop new technologies, realign value chains, expand infrastructures and secure existing energy and raw material networks.
To support this change, Fraunhofer IMW is committed to establish the "HoT - House of Transfer", which will serve as a central contact point for all stakeholders from the Central German region in the fields of chemistry, hydrogen, bioeconomy and plastics.
Project description
The "House of Transfer" is an interdisciplinary project that addresses structural change in the sectors of bioeconomy, chemicals and plastics.
Its aim is to establish a holistic technology transfer structure for these industries in the region and to pass on knowledge about new technologies and processes. Recommendations for action are being developed for political, economic, scientific and social stakeholders in order to successfully shape structural change. The project brings together various partners, including Cluster BioEconomy e. V., Kooperationsnetzwerk Chemie+, Fraunhofer IWES, Polykum e. V. and the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg.
Our services and tasks
- Development and optimization of the business model
- Innovation strategy and innovation science support for selected transfer activities

Funding and project partners
The "House of Transfer" project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection on the basis of a resolution of the German Bundestag with an amount of € 4.6 million. The project partners Cluster BioEconomy e. V., Fraunhofer Center for International Management and Knowledge Economy IMW, the Cooperation Network Chemie+, the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and POLYKUM e.V. started their work on January 1, 2023 under the leadership of Fraunhofer IWES.
