Shareholdings and portfolio

Our portfolio of Technology Shareholdings

Our Strategic Shareholdings

Strategic shareholdings in companies are primarily made in the interest of higher education policy in order to create additional opportunities for fulfilling teaching, research and innovation tasks. This can take the form of educational initiatives, the institutionalization of research collaborations or investments in companies with which KIT aims to improve knowledge and technology transfer. Such Shareholdings are generally long-term.
