Something new is taking shape here

On June 2, 2026, the new  Charité BIH ARC Innovation Center (CBAIC) was inaugurated. It serves as an integrated innovation hub that connects research, clinical practice, and strong partners. This enables ideas to be systematically developed, tested, and translated into scalable applications — for better care, greater effectiveness, and equitable sharing of economic success among all stakeholders. Until all new structures are fully established, you can reach us as usual at innovation[at]charité.de.

Why technology transfer?

Have you ever wondered what a technology transfer office does? Charité BIH Innovation, the joint technology transfer office of Charité and BIH, builds bridges where they are needed. Together with researchers from Charité and BIH, we advance innovations in medicine so that they can have an impact on patients. We shape the innovation ecosystem at Charité and BIH, as well as in Germany and worldwide. This benefits not only patients, but also society and Germany as a business location.
