Industry Impulses: Strengthening Innovation – Securing Competitiveness

Strengthening domestic innovations to future-proof Austria as a business location – this is the guiding principle of our event “Industry Impulse”, taking place on March 27, 2025 at the Apothekertrakt Schönbrunn in Vienna.

On this day, the Apothekertrakt will become the meeting point for Austria’s industry and RDI community! Look forward to inspiring keynotes, interactive workshops to further develop your project ideas, and best-practice examples. Throughout the entire event, funding advisory services will be available to you. Networking, discussions, and professional exchange with potential project partners will also play a key role. The event takes place as part of the RDI initiative for the transformation of industry.

International Keynotes & Discussion

Two international industry experts will provide key insights into the opportunities for Austrian industry in a changing global environment. This will be followed by a discussion on how industrial transformation can be leveraged to secure a strong position in the value chains of the future.

Best Practice: “From Research to Market” – Concrete Results and Outlook

The three flagship regions Green Energy Lab, NEFI (New Energy for Industry), and WIVA P&G will showcase how industrial transformation projects can be successfully implemented. A glimpse into the future will follow, featuring two successful projects from the 2024 call of the RDI initiative for industrial transformation.
