ThIMo is implementing the TU Ilmenau's transfer strategy in the field of mobility.

Education and research at the Ilmenau University of Technology (ThIMo) have always had a strong practical focus – a healthy transfer environment and the targeted expansion of transfer potential are therefore of paramount importance. Intensifying science communication and technology transfer, as well as developing service-oriented transfer structures, are strategic objectives addressed through five areas of action: 

1. Target group-oriented information and knowledge transfer 
2. Research collaborations and strategic partnerships 
3. Intellectual property rights Spin-offs 
4. Transfer of knowledge through people

In its mission as an innovation platform and center of excellence, and with its specific focus on research, technology, and education, ThIMo offers information-based transformation consulting. It disseminates scientific findings with the potential for industrially viable and commercially viable solutions. In this way, the demand for expertise and infrastructure both within and outside of Thuringia can be effectively addressed. 

ThIMo is addressing the upcoming challenges of mobility with its research initiative "Digital Mobility on Road and Rail." In addition to future-oriented research activities in its core competencies, ThIMo, in close collaboration with other Thuringian partners, addresses the key importance of digitalization. Based on its extensive expertise in the field of mobility and logistics in rural areas, as well as its high-performance research infrastructure and practical real-world laboratories, Thuringian businesses have access to a wide range of transfer activities and support services for transformation processes.

he Thuringian Regional Innovation Strategy (RIS), under the patronage of the Thuringian Minister for Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Rural Development (TMWLLR), focuses on institutionalizing exchange, communication, and knowledge transfer in the Free State's strategic technology fields. 

On the one hand, the RIS develops innovative solutions, including those for mobility in rural areas, which form the basis for the subsequent implementation of pilot projects. On the other hand, it develops strategic initiatives for transport policy in the areas of demographic change, climate change, and the evolving mobility needs of the population. 

ThIMo is represented by its director as an appointed member of the RIS Strategy Advisory Board for the specialization field of “Sustainable and Intelligent Mobility and Logistics.”
