Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and BiotechnologySolving global problems such as tackling disease as well as securing the supply of water, raw materials and energy for every citizen of the planet, are the big challenges we face in the 21st century. Unrelenting population growth, escalating consumption of resources and rising global warming mean that the development and realization of sustainable processes and products is becoming ever more imperative.
Through our research and development we want to contribute to solving these challenges. Therefore our actions are oriented on the principle of sustainability, a concept which meets the needs of current generations without jeopardizing the options of future generations to satisfy their own needs.
