Center of Organic Electronics Cologne - ZOEK

The goal of the ZOEK is to link basic research carried out at the university to industrial pre-development.

Exciting new scientific results and processes developed at the university will be carried on to a level, where companies can take over in order to actually develop commercial products.

In the future, there will be close collaboration between the University of Cologne and the ZOEK. In collaborative R&D projects, the University will focus on research while the ZOEK will focus on development.
