Allowances by the German Federation, German states and the European Union (more than 1000 Programs). In international co-operation projects, allowances by co-operating countries are possible. We hold more than 15 years of experience in more than 200 projects. Example: Two companies and a university-institute analysed an interdisciplinary problem in the field of plastics-engineering, nano-technology and automation/ control, to invent a new production procedure. The procedure was successfully brought to the market by both SMEs. The all over allowance by a state ministry was about 310.000 €.
