History

GWT-TUD GmbH was founded in 1996 as the Society for Knowledge and Technology Transfer, a company created to connect scientific research with industrial and medical application. It is based in Dresden, Germany, and operates as a 100% subsidiary of TUDAG (TU Dresden Aktiengesellschaft), the technology transfer holding associated with TU Dresden. This parentage gives GWT a strong scientific background and an extensive network of experts, and the company describes itself as a partner of the University of Excellence TU Dresden. Over more than two and a half decades the company built two complementary service lines. The first is knowledge and technology transfer for industry: strategic consulting and personal support that give clients access to expert know-how in fields ranging from aerospace, electromobility, transport, traffic and logistics to construction, IT and virtual product development. The second is clinical research. GWT acts as a clinical research organization (CRO), as a sponsor and as a site management organization, managing multicenter and multinational clinical trials from study design, financial set-up and contracting through patient recruitment and accounting to study completion. Its therapeutic experience spans hematology, oncology, immunotherapy, diabetes, dermatology, pulmonology, metabolism, angiology and cardiology, and it reports more than 75 completed studies. It supports investigator-initiated trials (IIT), studies under the German Medicinal Products Act (AMG) and Medical Devices Act (MPG), and non-interventional studies (NIS) with real-world evidence, and it maintains a European clinical trials network for efficient patient access. The company has grown to more than 200 employees at two locations, Berlin and Dresden. It emphasizes quality and risk management through ISO-certified process management and declares ICH-GCP-compliant management across sponsor oversight, clinical project management, clinical project administration, clinical data management, clinical quality management, safety and monitoring. Its managing director is Prof. Dr. med. habil. Jacques Rohayem, who is also an executive board member of TUDAG. Under the motto "We know how," GWT continues to position itself as a bridge between science, industry and medicine, enabling market access for new technologies, products and pharmaceuticals.
