From research to realisation: Innovations with success
For more than ten years, fortiss has successfully implemented the principle of research. apply. design. together with its partners from business, research and administration. In doing so, the state research institute places a special focus on cooperation with small and medium-sized enterprises in Bavaria, thus writing Bavarian success stories.
To date, this success is evident in more than 300 cross-industry projects. The process of research cooperation - from the development of the idea to the implementation of the results in daily use - could be realized profitably for all participants. Every single fortiss success story is a part of this and proves how research together with business sets technology trends and advances the development of innovative ideas and solutions.
Digitalization of public administration services, one of the German government’s central projects, is already underway despite the multiple challenges. The project DR&P relies on the administrative services taking a proactive role, thus going one important step further than what online formulas have provided to date. In this way, administrative services are provided automatically without the user's request or intervention.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a disease of the retina caused by diabetes, is the most common cause of vision loss in adults aged 25-60 in Europe. By using the fortiss software Neural Network Dependability Kit (NNDK), a deep learning model has been developed that can be used directly in a retinal camera during screening. The solution supports ophthalmologists in the precise and consistent assessment and diagnosis of DR.
