Working together to turn a challenge into a viable project
ATB collaborates with companies, universities, research institutions and public organisations on technical and organisational tasks. Depending on the objective, this may result in a direct development project, a joint research project or a funded collaborative project.
We begin by clarifying the challenge, the research or development requirements and the existing framework conditions. We then work together to determine which form of collaboration is most suitable from both a technical and organisational perspective.
Which approach suits your project?
For businesses
You wish to test a technical idea, develop a prototype or integrate a bespoke software solution into existing processes.
Possible outcomes: Feasibility study · technical concept · prototype · demonstrator · bespoke software
For research partners
You are looking for a partner for applied research, software development, technical work packages or the coordination of a collaborative project.
Possible contributions: joint research questions · methodology development · system integration · demonstration · technology transfer
Funding and project development
You wish to structure a project idea from a technical perspective, identify a suitable funding framework or develop a consortium and a robust funding application.
Possible contributions: Refining the project · Assessing the funding framework · Developing work packages · Bringing partners together · Preparing project coordination
From the initial enquiry to collaboration
- Describe the initial situation: You explain the objective, the challenge, existing systems and the desired application context.
- Clarify ATB’s contribution: We assess the enquiry from a technical perspective and identify suitable expertise and points of contact.
- Defining the format: Together, we determine the scope, roles, deliverables and, where applicable, a suitable funding framework.
- Implementing the project: The project is carried out with clear work packages, verifiable deliverables and regular coordination meetings.
- Transferring results: Methods, demonstrators or software systems are documented, tested and prepared for further use.

The right starting point begins with your question
A brief description of the challenge is sufficient for an initial discussion. A detailed project plan or a pre-selected funding programme is not required.
