Highlights from this year’s annual report

Green Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

Fraunhofer IAF is working on new mobile radio solutions that focus on energy efficiency and sustainability as well as performance. How Fraunhofer IAF contributes to the 6G mobile communications of the future with innovative terahertz radio technologies, sustainable InGaAs HEMT technologies and more can be read in this year’s annual report.

Two new research buildings in operation

With the new laboratory building and the new MOCVD hall, Fraunhofer IAF has had an expanded state-of-the-art research infrastructure for optoelectronic metrology and quantum sensing as well as for metal-organic chemical vapor deposition since 2021. Learn more about the expanded infrastructure and expertise at Fraunhofer IAF.

Innovation due to strong partners

Innovations are based on exchange: Whether know-how, equipment or material — the optimal distribution of resources enables their optimal use. Therefore, Fraunhofer IAF builds on strong collaborations with partners from research and industry.
