The Fraunhofer-Institut für System- und Innovationsforschung (ISI) conducts applied research in seven Competence Centers with a total of 28 Business Units and sees itself as an independent institute for society, politics and industry. Its expertise in the area of innovation research is based on the synergy of the technical, economic and social science knowledge of our staff members.
Fraunhofer ISI applies not only a broad spectrum of advanced scientific theories, models, methods and social-science measurement instruments, but continually develops them further, utilizing the empirical findings from the research projects conducted.
On behalf of its customers, the institute investigates the scientific, economic, ecological, social, organizational, legal and political framework conditions for generating innovations and their implications.
