Technology Institute was started in 2016 by engineers and bankers. It began as a leisure activity, gathering the opinions of the world's first block chain experts, evaluating their research and ideas, and stacking whitepapers. Gradually, a collaboration between the Technology Institute and the Foundation for Fair Capital Markets developed, and we gathered our notes from the Beginner's Guide to Blockchain and our first block chain research study into a working paper, turning this hub of industry expertise into a research institute. This later led to the development of proprietary tools and applications. One of these is a Track&Trace solution which can be used in making global supply chains transparent and auditable.

Further applications extend our interest in preserving the planet and include the use of machine learning and database technologies to create Impact Analysis and ESG centric Asset Allocation models with the objective to use to power of capital to help steer towards a more sustainable future.

Thoroughly conducted research is key to finding solutions to the challenges of our time, whether they are of a global, societal or regional nature. The result of the researcher's work is not always entirely "new knowledge". A large part of the research process results in inventions and innovations. The further development of existing processes and the improvement of existing products and processes are also part of the tasks of research and development. At Technology Institute we create blockchain solutions for a sustainable future by pursuing ambitious goals along our entire value chain. In this way, we want to achieve cost-balanced growth and assume social and ecological responsibility. We concentrate on topics in which we, as a research institute, can make a significant contribution together with our partner companies.

We help our team member's development in their current roles and dream about what comes next. Our vision is driving us. Technology Institute works to create a healthy, balanced research and corporate culture that supports a long-term, creative workforce and promotes a healthy work-life balance. Our scientists are encouraged to participate in events, share their work and take time to volunteer or learn new skills. Our head office is located in Frankfurt am Main, directly next to the internet node DE-CIX. Our work area and warehouse are designed to collaborate, with a mixture of open office space and a playground. Technology Institute is also an open house for writers, designers, comedians, artists, press representatives and other interesting people, so that we remain inspired by diversity around us and people from different industries.
