The present report contains the proceedings of the workshop, in the course of which questions of technology transfer in the new German states were discussed. This workshop was organized by the Karlsruhe Nuclear Research Center via the contact office of the Technology Transfer Department at Arnstadt. Fundamental problems of cooperation between research and industry as well as the special instrument of 'technology transfer programme' developed by the Karlsruhe Nuclear Research Center were dealt with. A central problem is the reduction of jobs by the no longer competitive industry in the new federal states. Institutes and organizations of the old states are called on to cooperate. The Karlsruhe Nuclear Research Center established a branch office of their Fabrication Technologies Project at Dresden to increase on the spot the support in the field of CIM. The technology transfer programme is aimed at developing innovative products jointly with the newly founded firms in the field of high technology in East Germany. Besides selective promotion programmes and cooperation offers, an exchange of experience among the technology centers of both the old and the new German states is required to transfer the positive experience gained in the West during the last 15 years to the organizations developing in Eastern Germany. Problems of enterprises in the new federal states are reported about. Elements of a concerted technology policy to create a favorable environment for new technological developments are presented.
