We want to provide answers to many questions in this blog. We want to show why research, innovation and technologies are so important. Valuable funding flows into research. Why are these funds necessary? What is done with it? And how does research benefit society and Austria as a business location?

Research has an impact 

Numerous studies show a clear link between research and prosperity. The higher the level of research in a country and the better the knowledge gained is used to develop new technologies, the more prosperous it is. Research, development and innovation are key drivers of economic, technical and social development. Research-based companies grow faster, achieve higher export rates and create more jobs than other companies.

Rapid development and change

The world is changing at an ever faster pace, with new technologies shaping our lives. Their further development plays a decisive role in mastering the challenges of the future. Whether it's the energy turnaround, digitization or climate change, we are currently experiencing in all clarity that "business as usual" is not possible: keyword climate crisis. The question that arises is both simple and complicated: How can we organize our lives in such a way that negative impacts on the environment are avoided as far as possible? It is clear that many things have to change in order to get global warming under control. Transport, energy generation, agriculture, but also the way we communicate efficiently and securely in the digital age - these are just some of the areas where intelligent solutions are needed to address the fundamental issues of the present and future.

Digitization has further driven the globalization of markets, and companies have to face competition on a global scale. "We are in a leg-high global competition. There are no boundaries here to protect us. Those who have the wrong answers or are too late will lose," appeals Anton Plimon, Managing Director of the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology. 

Answers to the big questions of the future

This is where the Austrian Institute of Technology comes in. Austria's largest non-university research institution loves questions, because it specializes in developing answers. In doing so, the AIT focuses on areas that are of central importance to the development of society. This bundling of forces enables us in Austria to be on a par with the best in the world.

Research ensures prosperity

Success is only possible in an innovative economic environment, where knowledge is transformed into promising products and sophisticated services. Success ultimately means creating jobs and increasing prosperity. In a country like Austria, ideas and know-how are the most important resources for this. These strengths must be utilized and promoted.
