The NEFI innovation network is taking a decisive step forward under the RTI initiative ‘Transformation of Industry’: NEFI+ the new innovation lab is ready to go!

With more than five years of experience and collaboration with over 120 partners, we are setting new standards in 24 ongoing projects to achieve climate neutrality in the Austrian industrial sector. Driven by the NEFI transformation scenarios outlined, we have set ourselves the clear goal of expanding our activities towards climate-neutral industry through proven innovation and utilisation processes of our developed solutions in specialised innovation hubs. In this way, we act as a catalyst for the development of projects that contribute to the transformation of industry as part of the RTI initiative.

We would like to personally invite you to the presentation of NEFI+ on June 20th, 2024 in Vienna.

We look forward to welcoming you to our kick-off event and setting the course for a climate-neutral future together!
