Thanks to the close contacts of its members to industry, the research platform CELEST offers the best conditions for successful knowledge transfer of its developments to industry. At the same time, CELEST benefits from the know-how of its industrial partners in order to be able to conduct research as close as possible to applications. Technology transfer is promoted by the following measures:

- Organization of industry workshops and company visits (currently: Leclanché)
- Organization and implementation of on-site training programs for employees of industry partners
- Initiation of joint industry/PhD research projects
- Participation and presentation at trade fairs
