Neither in basic research nor in the search for new applications do scientists move in a vacuum. No innovation leads an island existence. It is always docked to the real world. Innovations must communicate and interact on a secure basis with the real world, must meet established framework conditions.

Standards make a decisive contribution to ensuring that innovations prevail in the marketplace. And they not only shorten time-to-market, but also facilitate access to the public procurement market.
