As a COMET competence center for excellent technologies, we support our costumers with application-orientied research at an international level. By virtualizing processes, making them more flexible and transforming them in accordance with the principles of circular economy, we enable process-specific digitalization, empower sustainability and unleash a new future. We also offer contract research in the field of process analytical technologies, especially in combination with digitalization. The focus here is on chemical and biotechnological production processes.
