The Lower Austria Technopol Program. The introduction of the Technopol Program in 2004, co-financed with EU means, marked the beginning of technology-driven business location development in Lower Austria. Technopols are centers of �technology-oriented economic activity“ which are strategically established in direct proximity to educational and research facilities. As the business agency of the province of Lower Austria, ecoplus has been commissioned with the management of the Technopol Program. On-site Technopol managers assist companies in their efforts to collaborate with R&D institutions in Lower Austria on applied research projects and to recruit highly-qualified personnel. Forward-looking partnerships and interdisciplinary collaboration have established Lower Austria‘s Technopols as leading locations for cutting-edge international research: for example, medical biotechnology at Technopol Krems; agrobiotechnology and environmental biotechnology at Technopol Tulln; medical and materials technology at Technopol Wr. Neustadt; and bioenergy, agricultural and food technology at Technopol Wieselburg.
We are partners for entrepreneurial dedication, technological innovation and regional development.
Technopols enhance creation of value in the region. Technopols can exploit both the spatial and the academic/scientific advantages found at these locations. Thanks to these synergistic effects, a strong potential for cooperation and robust networks are created. A Technopol strategy aligned to international benchmarks creates additional incentives and jobs, and allows future industries to successfully implement their plans for expansion. Thus Technopols increase regional added value in Lower Austria, as evidenced by several research surveys. At the Lower Austrian Technopols Krems, Tulln, Wr. Neustadt and Wieselburg, 1,950 people work in the respective high-tech fields; of these, 1,120 are researchers. Since 2004, 27 high-tech companies have been founded at, or have moved to, one of the Technopols.
