Research and Funding

Since June 1, 2017, together with our partners - the Martin Luther University Halle Wittenberg, the Society for the Promotion of Medical, Bio and Environmental Technologies eV and the Innovent eV - we have the cluster project "Sucrolevan - Production of a high molecular microbial fructose polymer Levan " began. This research project is also funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research as part of the "New Products for the Bioeconomy" program. The project period is from 2017 to December 2019.

In a network - which consisted of three researching companies and two institutes - we participated in the "NANOMAR" project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under the initiative "KMU: Innovativ". The title of this research project is: "Micro- and nanoparticles from marine organisms (Maresome®) in collagen wound dressings to prevent the colonization of multidrug-resistant pathogens (Nanomar) - sub-project: Formulations from Maresomes © and collagen in the laboratory and pilot plant scale". According to the BMBF, the program "KMU: Innovative" supports top-level research in medium-sized German companies, as it is often a pioneer of technological progress. It is a great confirmation for us that the BMBF assigns this status to our research work on nanoparticles. This project was successfully completed in 2019.

Our new building in Rudolstadt (completed in February 2014) was funded by the Free State of Thuringia and co-financed by funds from the European Union as part of the European Fund for Regional Development (ERDF) and by federal funds. Furthermore, this program has already supported artefactum gmbh twice in opening up new markets in foreign countries.
