The Federal Government has approved the concept presented by the BMBF for the establishment of the German Agency for Transfer and Innovation (DATI). The aim is to bring innovative ideas from research into practice more quickly.

The Federal Government has approved the concept presented by the Federal Minister of Education and Research (BMBF) for the establishment of a German Agency for Transfer and Innovation (DATI). The aim is to bring research results into practice and to people more quickly and effectively.

Federal Research Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger: “DATI is a central project and an important research policy goal in the coalition agreement. It is intended to bring new knowledge and innovative ideas from research into practice more quickly and effectively. Up to now, we in Germany have fallen short of our potential. We need to transfer and disseminate the outstanding research findings at our universities and scientific institutions into practical applications. DATI will remove the existing obstacles and create a new transfer culture in the country. This will release new innovation potential in Germany and generate innovation-based added value for the economy and society. DATI will thus sustainably strengthen Germany as a location for research and innovation. I would like to thank all departments for their intensive and constructive cooperation on the DATI concept.”

Background

The DATI is intended to break new ground in the promotion of transfer and innovation. The aim is to bring application-oriented research results into practice and to people more quickly and effectively with the involvement of all relevant transfer stakeholders. Through tailor-made, agile and unbureaucratic funding and support services for excellent transfer from application-oriented research, the aim is to remove barriers to transfer throughout Germany, unleash new innovation potential and strengthen the transfer culture in the country.
