Working together for tomorrow's mobility: BENTELER and Tongji University enter into partnership

Paderborn, June, 16th. Sustainable development through innovation – that's what BENTELER stands for. To accelerate the transfer of new technologies into marketable solutions, the company collaborates with leading universities worldwide. The latest example is a strategic partnership with the renowned Tongji University in Shanghai.

The cooperation with the Faculty of Automotive Sciences focuses on key future topics such as lightweight construction, vehicle safety, and sustainable mobility. The aim is to jointly advance innovative research while specifically promoting young talent.

BENTELER supports the training of young academics through internships, training programs, and its own scholarship, which was set up specifically for the cooperation with Tongji University.

The partnership also represents a deeper connection: BENTELER was founded in 1876, while Tongji University was established in 1907 as a result of a German-Chinese initiative – two institutions with a long tradition that are now combining their strengths for the mobility of tomorrow.

BENTELER has been firmly rooted in China for over 20 years. The strategic cooperation with Tongji University underscores this commitment – and shows how international partnerships enable innovation and sustainable growth.
