Partnerships with the inHaus-Center are based on framework cooperation agreements. There are four types of partnership: system partnerships, component partnerships, application partnerships and sponsorships. In return for the right to use the facilities and to participate in the advisory committee meetings of the business units (where the proposals for innovation projects are discussed and approved) and a multitude of PR activities, partners pay an annual contribution toward the operating expenses of the inHaus-Center based on their sales revenue. inHaus-partners take part in inHaus-activities as members of specific innovation projects.
