ThIMo implements the TU Ilmenau's transfer strategy in the field of mobility

Education and research at Ilmenau University of Technology have always been strongly oriented towards practical application; consequently, a healthy environment for knowledge transfer and the purposeful expansion of transfer potential are high priorities. Intensifying science communication and technology transfer, as well as developing service-oriented transfer structures, are strategic objectives addressed through five key areas of action:

• Target-group-oriented information and knowledge transfer 
• Research collaborations and strategic partnerships
• Intellectual property rights 
• Spin-offs 
• Transfer through people

Fulfilling its mission as an innovation platform and center of competence—and leveraging its specific focus on research, technology, and education—ThIMo provides services for information-based transformation consulting. In doing so, it translates scientific insights into solutions with the potential for industrial application and commercial viability. This approach effectively meets the demand for expertise and infrastructure both within and beyond Thuringia. 

ThIMo addresses upcoming mobility challenges through its research initiative focused on digital mobility for road and rail. In addition to pioneering research within its core competencies, ThIMo works in close collaboration with other partners in Thuringia to harness the pivotal role of digitalization. Drawing on extensive expertise in mobility and logistics for rural areas—combined with high-performance research infrastructure and real-world laboratories—ThIMo offers Thuringia’s business community a wide range of technology transfer activities and support services for transformation processes.
