Many say they are located at the heart of Europe. But some need a telescope to look into neighbouring countries. In Saarland, on the other hand, we have our first contacts right outside our doors as we are able to speak to our French and Luxembourgian neighbours at the garden fence.
The location that we are offering is at the centre of the European region SaarLorLux, which guarantees highly profitable accessibility to almost every destination in Europe through excellent road, rail and waterway infrastructure.
Production process automation. A car that warns the driver of danger. Knowing what the app is really doing. Intelligent sport mats. High tech surface coatings and catalysts from the nano sector. These are just some of the sectors that Saarland research teams are working on.
Saarland has a global reputation as one of the most important research locations in the sectors of IT and nano technology.
Many internationally renowned research institutes work here to create the future together with companies and international partners. A certainty that also reflects in the companies that are based here. There are good reasons why Google is a new partner in the » DFKI Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (German research center for artificial intelligence).
“We also carry out research in Saarland and the results of this research flow into industry and into companies. INM contributes to the attractiveness of Saarland as a research location with its research fields of interface materials, nanocomposite technology and biointerfaces. The transfer of knowledge and technology is at the forefront in its new innovation centre. This aims to transfer innovative materials for energy applications, medical surfaces and tribioligical systems from research into application. Comprehensive research is carried out on both the opportunities and the possible risks of nanomaterials.”
