High Performance Center »Secure Intelligent Systems«

The High Performance Center »Secure Intelligent Systems« (LZSiS) is an initiative of the Fraunhofer Institutes EMFT, IBP, IGCV, IKS and IVV from the greater Munich area as well as the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Bundeswehr University Munich. Internationally, we have strong roots with TNO in the Netherlands and Tel Aviv University in Israel.

The alliance combines the technology areas of electronic microsystems and artificial intelligence with application expertise in food and packaging, building physics and foundry. Its particular strength lies in the possibility of immediately incorporating application knowledge into new technological developments. This interdisciplinarity also enables to offer solutions more quickly, as the alliance can transfer suitable technologies directly from different industries that usually have no contact with each other.
