High-Performance Center »Integration of Biological and Physical-Chemical Material Functions«

Welcome to the Potsdam High-Performance Center! Since 2017, we have been funding innovative R&D projects on function integration technologies and supporting the transfer of science to industry. With a strong focus on alternative and smart materials and 3D printing, we are setting new standards in materials development. From 2025, we will launch the “Mat4Water” project, which focuses on the detection of hazardous substances in water management. Together with our partners from the region, we are creating a strong innovation ecosystem and facilitating valuable collaborations for companies and start-ups. Discover how you can shape the future of functional integration with us.

What is the High-Performance Center? How do we work and what are our focuses? We have clearly presented all of this for you in this graphic.

Cooperation structure

The High-Performance Center "Function Integration" is one of 20 Fraunhofer High-Performance Centers in Germany that organise the close cooperation of university and non-university research with industry. At the Potsdam-Golm site, the High-Performance Centre is coordinated by the Fraunhofer Institutes for Applied Polymer Research IAP and for Cell Therapy and Immunology, Bioanalytics and Bioprocesses Division IZI-BB. Projects at the High-Performance Centre are funded by the State of Brandenburg and the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft.
