Business & Transfer
The transfer office connects TU Eisenfeld's research and teaching with industrial practice: from joint research projects and in-company theses to spin-offs and tailored executive education. Initial consultations for companies are free of charge.
Research cooperation and contract research
Companies work with the university's research groups in joint projects, publicly funded consortia or direct contract research — from feasibility study to prototype. Focus areas are robotics and automation, trustworthy AI, embedded systems, energy grids and digital business models. The transfer office settles contracts, intellectual property and publication rules up front.

Career service and recruiting

Spin-offs and start-ups
Students, doctoral researchers and staff interested in founding receive support from first idea to spin-off: business-model development, IP strategy, public funding (including EXIST) and access to the network of mentors and investors. University technologies can be transferred into the spin-off through licensing or equity models.
Executive education for companies
The university's portfolio yields tailored executive-education formats for companies: certificate courses on robotics, AI in operations, cybersecurity and digital transformation — online, part-time and, on request, with company-specific case studies. The formats conclude with a university certificate.
Contacting the transfer office
The transfer office can be reached via [email protected] and by telephone through the service desk. For companies: an initial consultation within five working days, non-binding and free of charge. Ongoing cooperations are looked after by dedicated contacts.
