Steinbeis Transfer Management Ltd.

Steinbeis Transfer Management Ltd. (Steinbeis Ukraine) is part of the international Steinbeis network and focuses on the implementation of cross-border pilot projects and cooperation initiatives, particularly in the fields of Smart Cities, urban systems, and climate-resilient development.

Steinbeis Ukraine works closely with cities, regional and national public authorities, companies, and research organisations to translate innovation concepts into practical, implementable solutions. A strong emphasis is placed on project development, consortium building, and implementation readiness, ensuring that international cooperation results in concrete outcomes on the ground rather than purely conceptual studies.

A core activity of Steinbeis Ukraine is the coordination and execution of innovation-oriented pilot projects, including demonstration and scaling approaches that strengthen institutional, administrative, and market-side capacities. Skills and vocational aspects are integrated where relevant to support long-term sustainability and operational continuity of implemented solutions.

Steinbeis Ukraine is closely linked with Steinbeis companies in Romania, Austria, and Azerbaijan, enabling regional cooperation across Central and Eastern Europe and the Danube region. These Steinbeis entities are strategically coordinated by the Steinbeis Transfer Center East-West Cooperation (Germany), which provides overarching alignment, project structuring expertise, and access to the broader Steinbeis network.
