We support commercial enterprises and public administration in digitization and offer the full range of research services: from requirements analysis, consulting, feasibility studies and technology development to prototypes and piloting. We bring secure and resilient data and communication technologies to application at the highest scientific level. We understand digitalization and networking from a technical, economic and social perspective. This includes the holistic interaction of systems, things, organizations, processes and people from the purely technical dimension to the socio-technical system. The resulting dependencies, influences and interactions of digital networking are incorporated into our technology development right from the start. This enables us to ensure that our solutions offer our customers (economic or organizational) added value that is tailored to their specific requirements. Our decades of technical expertise and domain knowledge have not only provided us with an overview of the path of technological development, but also targeted access to the right means for the respective purpose.we are also actively involved in standardization committees to promote the interoperability of new technologies and accelerate their transfer to the market. With this holistic application expertise in making state-of-the-art technologies usable for distributed systems at the highest scientific level, FOKUS has a unique place among the renowned Fraunhofer Institutes.
