You are searching for industrial project partners to finance your research?

Rely on acib’s extensive network of companies, allowing us to offer your research ideas to >10,000 potential collaboration partners. Let acib be your gateway for collaborative research!

Get partners for your technologies

As a scientific partner of acib, you can join our project offer initiative and hand in your concept for conducting your biotech-research within acib (project staff = acib employees).

Start multi-company projects

With tailored contracts with universities and framework-contracts with universities in place acib can easily bring together multiple academic and industrial partners. If 4 company partners work together, each has to pay only ¼ of total research costs, effectively resulting in a funding-like arrangement.

Collaborate in EU funded projects

acib is a strong partner in EU projects, not only for scientific approaches but also for communication, dissemination work packages or life-cycle assessments – both pivotal factors for a multitude of EU project calls. Our EU-team is always helpful and well-equipped to assist you in finding suitable consortium partners and crafting all non-scientific components of your proposal. Get to know our Research projects

Benefits for academia
