What tti Magdeburg does

tti Technologietransfer und Innovationsförderung Magdeburg GmbH, trading as tti Magdeburg, is a privately held, DIN EN ISO 9001-certified management and innovation consultancy founded in May 1992 and headquartered in Magdeburg, Germany, with a branch office in Halberstadt (reopened 3 June 2019). The firm delivers a nine-service advisory portfolio to small and medium enterprises, startups, and research institutions primarily in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt: innovation funding advisory, network and cooperation building, knowledge and technology transfer, intellectual property consulting (via the WIPANO program), investment support (via GRW and Investitionsbank Sachsen-Anhalt), management system implementation (ISO 9001/14001/27001/17025, ISO 50001, ISO 14971), project management for funded projects, R&D tax allowance advisory (Steuerliche Forschungszulage), and digitalization / cybersecurity consulting. tti is an approved consulting company for the federal BMWi/go-Inno innovation voucher scheme, which can cover up to 50% of external consulting costs for eligible SMEs.

The business model is professional-services consulting on a project or hourly fee basis, with a free non-binding initial consultation used as the primary lead-generation mechanism and recurring referrals driven by membership in innovation clusters and networks (SMAB, MedTech, INNOMED, Enterprise Europe Network, dti, Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Chemnitz, Transferstelle Cybersicherheit, ZIM EdiTAZ). Marketing combines direct outreach, network-based referrals, content (annual reports 2008-2022 and Innovationsspiegel Sachsen-Anhalt), LinkedIn, and regional/national events. Since 1992 the firm has realized over 1,000 development projects with 880 companies, activates up to €8 million of R&D expenditure per year on behalf of clients, and maintains approximately 1,000 enterprise contacts per year. The firm is led by Managing Director Peter Serowka, with Frank Nothnagel managing the Halberstadt branch.

The firm has no proprietary software or hardware products. Its technology base is consultant know-how combined with an online member forum (InDigiTech and European innovative Collective) used for post-sale community engagement. Core infrastructure consists of standard CRM, document, and web tooling; no AI/ML capability is disclosed. The 2020 European Enterprise Promotion Award from the European Commission, multiple federal program accreditations, and 30+ years of continuous ISO 9001 certification constitute the principal intangible assets. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or material ownership changes are disclosed; the company is independently owned with no parent entity or institutional investors indicated.
