Leading national organization promoting applied R&D benefiting SMEs It builds up alliances together with partners from industry, science and government in order to turn ideas into successful products/processes/services. As an industry-driven organization, the AiF aims at initiating applied R&D for SMEs. 100 industrial research associations with approx. 50,000 businesses, mostly SMEs, as members 1,200 associated research institutes AiF manages public programs of the German federal government to strengthen SME competitiveness. Since 1954, it has disbursed more than 9,5 billion in funding for over 200,000 research projects for SMEs AiF is an independent industrial federation: it is financed entirely by industry and receives no institutional funding. 9
