Innovation network for terahertz technology

About Us

terahertz.NRW brings together leading research institutes and industry partners to harness the transformative power of terahertz technology. Our goal is to accelerate development in the fields of communication, material characterization, medical technology and environmental monitoring.

Vision

Terahertz.NRW is a network that promotes THz technologies by connecting research institutions, universities and companies. The terahertz frequency range offers great potential for technologies such as high data transmission rates, precise sensors and advanced applications in diagnostics and monitoring.

Our goal is to promote THz technologies in the fields of communication, localization, medicine and the environment. We support start-ups and SMEs to integrate THz innovations into their business models and thus strengthen Germany’s position in the global THz market.

Terahertz.NRW is involved in international projects such as SFB MARIE and 6GEM. We contribute to the further development of telecommunications, healthcare and sustainability and put THz technologies into practice. Together with leading companies and scientists, we are shaping the future of THz science and developing technologies that will have a major impact on society.
