Reference projects of the Fraunhofer FFB

Our goal is to conduct research that results in innovative battery production solutions that can be quickly applied in Europe. To achieve this, we work closely with industry and research partners. At Fraunhofer FFB, we maintain a flexible approach and collaborate with our partners to develop customized solutions that meet their unique needs. On this page, you will find a comprehensive list of both current and past projects that we have undertaken in collaboration with various partners from research and industry.

Designing research with a practical focus

Our institution specializes in conducting customized research projects that result in groundbreaking solutions and serves as a primary contact for companies engaged in battery cell production. We offer a range of industrial projects with diverse orientations, which allow us to leverage a wide range of competencies under one roof. We cover the complete value chain from cell design to market launch. We've included a few examples below to give you an idea of our work.
