What is Carinthia special? With state -of -the -art infrastructure, branched networks and the quality of life that really impresses, they have managed to build an innovation space. Here are the largest interior hall for drone in Europe and the largest clean room in Austria.

Due to these conditions, in Carinthia, Austrian Carinthia can develop boundaries that are moving borders: in the fields of trace -olling, robotics, mechatronics, IT segments, renewable energy and environmental technology. The result is innovations such as biomaterials for the production of vehicles and unmanned aircraft technology, which in many industries increase safety and efficiency.

Technological and innovation centers

There are several innovation centers in Carinthia that allow companies directly to contact research institutions and other technological players.

Lakeside Science & Technology Park in Klagenfurt near Lake Vrbsko: the digital heart of the region, where companies in the fields of artificial intelligence, software, 5G technologies and educational innovations are home. Together, they develop solutions that perfectly combine research, development and use in the market – these are fast, extensive and future focused.

Technology Park Villach and high -tech campus Villach: They combine more than 40 technologically advanced companies, about 850 employees and more than 1,100 students of the Vocational Vocational School in Carinthia. Together, they create a dynamic environment focused on the development of trace -olectronics, mechatronics, mechanical engineering and built -in systems. The campus is equipped with high -end laboratory equipment, modern cleaning rooms and tests that allow the development of solutions, competitive not only in the Austrian but also in the international market.

Technologiepark Lavanttal: This is where the future -oriented technologies are developing – to green innovations and sustainable technologies. These centers allow faster product development, access to laboratory equipment, training, test environments and, crucial, opportunities for participation.

Innovations that change the world – from biomaterials to digital swarms

In the modern world, where progress takes place at light speed, excellent research, integration and transfer of knowledge into practice is decided. In Carinthia, innovations are not created in isolation – the key advantage of the region is close cooperation between scientific institutions, economy and educational institutions. Regardless of the size, companies have access to high -end research infrastructure, laboratories and experts to help them develop and test solutions ready to enter the market. The region boasts research centers of international reputation that set criteria in areas such as electronics, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, collective intelligence systems and the development of advanced materials of the future.

An important motion of technological development in Carinthia is research institutions such as Silicon Austria Labs (Sal), which develop key technologies of the future in partnership with industry and academic circles – from smart devices to autonomous systems and solutions for industry 4.0. In doing so, companies not only gain access to top infrastructure, but also the opportunity to cooperate with top experts in an open and entrepreneurial oriented environment.

Opportunities for businesses and students

Carinthia offers unique opportunities for participating at different levels: companies can easily enter research chains, and students are already involved in specific projects during their studies.

There are numerous support programs available for startup companies, subsidies for research and development, as well as opportunities for cooperation with top researchers from Austria and Wider Europe.
