The successful shaping of our future and the needed changes are part of the DNA of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. One of the central research topics is a future-oriented, fair and economical energy supply. As the world's leading organization for application-oriented research, we contribute with innovative ideas and solutions to harnessing the potential of the latest technologies for industry and society. In this way, we create the conditions for an ecologically intact, socially balanced and economically sustainable future.

Advancing climate change and unexpected geopolitical changes have once again significantly increased the pressure for faster implementation of the energy transition this year. Now it is even more important to make the right strategic decisions for technologies, expansion paths and business models. With our focus on the energy industry and energy system technology, we would like to contribute to this with our research and developments together with you.

We thank you very much for the trust you have placed in us, for your support and for the successful cooperation in 2022.

A Merry Christmas and a peaceful, successful New Year!

Sincerely yours
Reinhard Mackensen
