Facilities & Research Infrastructures
Facility Strategy & Service Development
In a nutshell
A scientifically excellent and powerful accelerator with a versatile experimental setup does not automatically constitute a professional service. Industrial customers require a clearly defined offer, transparent access conditions, appropriate pricing, reliable processes and staff who understand the expectations of commercial users. DINI supports facilities throughout the development of a professional service model. This service is designed for: * facilities that have never provided paid services to industry, * facilities that have already attempted to establish such an offer without achieving the desired results, * and new facility projects that are still in the proposal, funding or planning phase. Our role is to connect scientific capability with market demand and translate it into a practical business model, an implementation strategy and a professional service offer.
Main Target Group
Irradiation facilities, accelerator laboratories, research centres, technology transfer offices, facility management teams and new accelerator infrastructure projects.

Benefits for Clients
Our company helps facilities move from an initial idea to serve external users—or from an underused scientific capability—to a clearly structured service that external customers can understand, access and purchase.
The process creates alignment between facility management, scientific teams, technology transfer, and other internal stakeholders. It provides a realistic basis for pricing, investment and resource planning and reduces the risk of developing a service that does not match customer demand.
Your facility also benefits from practical knowledge of how industrial users work, what they expect from a scientific service provider and which organisational or communication issues commonly create difficulties. This helps you establish a more professional customer experience and a more sustainable basis for fostering technology transfer and paid service provision.

Application Example
Over a period of approximately 18 months, DINI supported GSI’s Technology Transfer Office and the responsible beam line scientists in developing a business model for Radiation Hardness Testing with high-energy heavy ions. The project included a market and user survey, competitive analysis, a stakeholder workshop, business and financial modelling, pricing considerations, an implementation roadmap and a marketing concept.
In 2025, GSI subsequently hosted its first paid Radiation Hardness Testing pilot campaigns for external companies. Four companies from Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States conducted successful campaigns, and the initiative gained support at GSI board level.
