The in­sti­tu­te's mot­to – FROM IDEA TO PRO­TO­TY­PE – out­li­nes both the sta­tu­to­ry mis­si­on to con­duct ap­p­li­ca­ti­on-ori­en­ted ba­sic re­se­arch and the uti­liza­t­i­on of re­se­arch re­sults. The INP car­ri­es out pro­jects from pu­blic re­se­arch fun­ding to in­crea­se the know­ledge for so­ci­al­ly re­le­vant to­pics. The re­sults of the­se pro­jects are con­ti­nuous­ly pu­blis­hed by the in­sti­tu­te in peer-re­view­ed jour­nals, at na­tio­nal and in­ter­na­tio­nal con­fe­ren­ces and at events for the ge­ne­ral pu­blic.

For ap­p­li­ca­ti­on-re­le­vant to­pics of eco­no­mic in­te­rest, INP cont­ri­bu­tes his know­ledge in terms of a ser­vice pro­vi­der for cust­o­m­er so­lu­ti­ons. The­se most­ly bi­la­te­ral in­dus­tri­al pro­jects help our busi­ness part­ners to be­ne­fit di­rect­ly from the most re­cent know­ledge of the re­se­arch at INP. As the first in­sti­tu­te of the Leib­niz As­so­cia­ti­on at all, INP foun­ded for its tech­no­lo­gy trans­fer its own firm: neo­plas GmbH (www.​neoplas.​eu). It acts as a se­cond part of the three-step mo­del de­ve­l­o­ped by the in­sti­tu­te. Ac­cor­ding to the mot­to "From Pro­to­ty­pe to Pro­duct", la­ter pi­lot cust­o­m­ers are in­vol­ved in the de­ve­lop­ment work, for ex­amp­le. If cer­tain uti­liza­t­i­on ac­tivi­ties ha­ve pro­ved to be eco­no­mi­cal­ly via­ble, they can lead to fur­ther spin-offs. Know­ledge, which is eco­no­mi­cal­ly ex­ploi­ta­ble and shall in­iti­al­ly not be of­fe­red as costu­mer so­lu­ti­on, could be de­ve­l­o­ped up to mar­ket rea­di­ness in a new spin-off that way: "From Pro­duct to Mar­ket".
