Berlin’s large public university of applied sciences combines two urban campuses, modern laboratories, practice-based student projects, a central research service, and strong Berlin-Brandenburg industry networks. Its transfer model connects companies with applied R&D, contract research, and technology advice.
HTW Berlin is a large public university of applied sciences in Germany, with about 16,200 students, 300 professors, and 80 degree programmes, and a distinctly practice-oriented character. Its two Berlin campuses provide modern laboratory infrastructure and proximity to a dense network of companies, public bodies, cultural institutions, and research organisations across the capital region. Corporate partners can engage through collaborative or contract research, consultancy, and practice-based student projects, while the Service-Centre Research helps companies find experts, arrange laboratory visits, and shape cooperation. Research draws on competitive funding from the BMBF and BMWK, EU programmes, state sources, foundations, and contract research. The university also advises on patents and licensing.
