A long-term, substantial and comprehensive cooperation in several areas forms the basis for a strategic partnership with KIT. The cooperation does not only include research, teaching and innovation, but also, for example, internationalization, recruiting and university marketing or joint commitment with regard to society-relevant aspects.

Implementation takes place within the framework of a separate agreement and a joint steering committee at management level with the involvement of the KIT Executive Board.

KIT currently has a strategic partnership with the following companies:

• ABB AG
• BASF SE
• Robert Bosch GmbH
• SAP SE
• Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KG
