The Fraunhofer Representative Office and the Senior Advisor help the Fraunhofer Institutes and their partners to set up business connections and collaborations in the Middle East.

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is actively involved in contract research, scientific collaborations and capacity building in this dynamic region. This local Fraunhofer presence benefits commercial enterprises in their business activities as well as government customers in implementing economic, research and development policies.

Most of the Fraunhofer activities in the Middle East are strategically based in the United Arab Emirates and Egypt. Market investigations and initial collaborations are now also underway in Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
