Advanced Materials

The Strategic Advisory Board

The advisory board’s role is not to carry out the operational implementation of individual measures. Rather, it is intended to critically reflect on the process, provide technological and strategic assessments, support the involvement of relevant key stakeholders, and serve as a champion for the issue.

Through the advisory board, the process receives professional guidance from experts who contribute perspectives from the scientific, industrial, and regional policy spheres.

“The greatest potential for the future lies in combining two areas of Styrian strength: advanced materials and artificial intelligence. This will generate new momentum for innovation and materials development.”

“What will be crucial for the future is that we make the transfer of research into economic value creation even faster, more efficient, and more systematic.”

"Styria has outstanding expertise in materials research. By fostering even closer ties between academia and industry, we will be able to harness this potential even more effectively in the future."

"The success of Advanced Materials stems from the collaboration between basic research, applied research, industry, and public R&D partners working together toward a common goal."

“For internationally successful companies such as the steel and technology group voestalpine, it takes not only strong research and development, but also an effective network linking business, academia, and the public sector.”

“Advanced materials are the key to the major transformations of our time and a crucial factor in the future success of Styria as a business location.”
