NEFI+

NEFI enters next phase

The New Energy for Industry innovation network is now entering its next phase with NEFI+. The new innovation laboratory forms a central contact point for projects and solutions “Made in Austria” that make a decisive contribution to climate neutrality in industry. The aim is to help domestic innovations in this area break through more quickly, both at a national and international level. NEFI+ is part of the Climate and Energy Fund’s RTI initiative for the transformation of industry.

+ What is new? +

NEFI is intensifying efforts to develop high-quality projects and distribute solutions for the industrial transformation towards climate neutrality at an international level.

Innovation Hubs
NEFI is expanding by creating thematic hubs. These newly established NEFI Innovation Hubs are developing high-quality research and innovation projects across various decarbonisation pathways, leveraging the proven NEFI innovation process.
