Research and Development Center
Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences – the initiator – joined forces with the City of Magdeburg and the bank Stadtsparkasse Magdeburg – as principal partners – to found the operating company Forschungs- und Entwicklungszentrum Magdeburg mbH on 15.07.1997. A former barracks was renovated and upgraded to contemporary standards to create a setting for forging tighter links between science and business.The purpose of the enterprise is to provide an infrastructure base for up-and-coming, technology-focused companies, concentrating on technology and IT-based disciplines and operational water resources management. It particularly attracts companies with an affinity for the university and those which are keen to be located nearby for ease of recruitment and/or access to expertise:
- Institutes associated with Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences
- Students testing out and developing their entrepreneurial skills whilst still pursuing their studies
- Companies in the region utilising the university`s scientific resources and developing human potential through internships and thesis projects.
The Herrenkruggelände/Elbauenpark site in the immediate vicinity of the university is of crucial importance. This advantage is enhanced by the public transport links to the city centre (trams and urban light rail) and plenty of car parking. In economic policy terms, the technically innovative services of the FEZ are expected to help develop the Magdeburg conurbation and surrounding regions.
The conference room at FEZ Magdeburg is equipped with ultra-modern technology (video projection, interpreting booths) and is supremely well suited to high-level lectures, colloquia, seminars and presentations. This room is, of course, available for hire and use by external organisations.
