Innovation has a long tradition in Upper Austria. Last year, the State Prize for Innovation demonstrated for the 30^th time how Upper Austria's innovative strength is fueling progress in our country. Courageous companies that focus on future technologies, break new ground with products and services and pursue innovative strategies are what set us apart.

The NEFI innovation network offers a platform for cooperation between Austrian industry, renowned research institutions and the general public in order to implement the decarbonization of the manufacturing, energy-intensive industry through research projects.

The use of the LEGO^® SERIOUS PLAY^® method in this context underlines the importance of new perspectives for the successful implementation of the energy transition. Creative methods such as these are particularly suitable for dealing with complex issues and conflict-laden topics.
