On March 26, 1949, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft was founded in Munich as a non-profit organization. Three quarters of a century later, it is one of the world's leading organizations for application-oriented research with more than 30,000 employees and 76 institutes not only in Germany but also in other parts of the world. They are all united by one guiding principle: to develop innovations for the future from ideas.
Together with the Fraunhofer IFAM (materials research) and the Fraunhofer IWES (wind energy), the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine MEVIS is one of three Fraunhofer Institutes in the state of Bremen. To mark the 75th anniversary of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Radio Bremen 2 conducted a live interview with the Managing Director of Fraunhofer MEVIS, Professor Horst Hahn.
