Fraunhofer IWS: Activity Report 2025/2026

Orientation emerges where present action meets long-term perspective. That is what the two brand-new digital publications by Fraunhofer IWS under the Light at Work claim stand for: the new 2025/2026 activity report with current topics and figures, and the institutes brochure with a compact overview of Fraunhofer IWS.

The activity report highlights key advancements in research and technology transfer. It is supplemented by up-to-date metrics on budget, personnel, publications and patents. The institute brochure extends this annual overview by presenting the long-term strategic profile of Fraunhofer IWS. It details the institute’s service offerings, mission, research framework and collaboration opportunities, providing a concise yet comprehensive summary of its expertise and operational approach.
