Independent Scientific Consulting
Where accelerator science meets industrial applications
Datzmann interact & innovate GmbH
founded March 2016
Managing director and founder:
Dr. rer. nat. Gerd Datzmann MBA
Mission Statement
Datzmann interact & innovate GmbH — DINI — is an independent scientific consultancy at the interface of accelerator science, research infrastructure and industrial applications.
We support irradiation facilities, research organisations, industrial users and collaborative research projects in turning scientific capabilities into accessible, sustainable and user-oriented services.
Who We Are
About DINI
Connecting expertise from science and industry
Founded in 2016 and based in Munich, DINI is led by physicist Dr. Gerd Datzmann, who also holds an Executive MBA in Innovation and Business Creation.
This dual perspective enables us to understand both the technical realities of scientific facilities and the expectations of commercial R&D environments. It shapes how we analyse markets, develop service models, evaluate user requirements and coordinate complex stakeholder groups.
Our work is centred on accelerator and irradiation applications, particularly radiation hardness testing of electronic components, accelerator-based materials analysis and modification, and the transfer of scientific capabilities into accessible services for external users.
Our Mission
What Drives Us
Turning scientific capability into practical value
Technical excellence alone does not automatically create an accessible and successful service. Potential users need a clearly defined offer, transparent access conditions, reliable processes and confidence that a facility can meet their technical and organisational requirements.
At the same time, research organisations need credible evidence of demand, realistic implementation models and a clear understanding of the users they intend to serve.
DINI connects these perspectives. Through independent analysis, structured stakeholder engagement and implementation-focused support, we help research infrastructures understand their users, develop accessible services and build sustainable cooperation with industry.
What We Do
From evidence to implementation
Our services cover the complete development and collaboration lifecycle—from early market validation and proposal preparation to facility access, service implementation and continuous improvement.

Why DINI
What Sets Us Apart
Specialist expertise with an independent perspective
Independent and evidence-based
We provide an external perspective and develop recommendations from structured interviews, surveys, market research, facility analysis and direct stakeholder input.
Fluent in science and industry
Our combination of scientific expertise, industrial management experience and business education helps us understand the terminology, expectations and decision-making processes on both sides.
Tailored and implementation-focused
Every assignment is shaped around the client’s project stage, strategic question and required decision. Our work is designed to produce practical next steps rather than generic recommendations.
Connected across the ecosystem
An established network of irradiation facilities, industrial and academic users, testing specialists, research organisations and public-sector stakeholders helps us identify relevant expertise, partners and opportunities.
