ATINET
(Austrian Technology Impulse Network)
2006-2008
Goal of the project was to show that public funding of
the first steps of a technology intensive innovation processes actually
promotes companies to raise their engagement in research and technology oriented tasks. It could
be shown that this supports becomes self-reinforcing for the respective
companies. It also proved that the companies considerably raised their
own portion of funding.
The entire innovation process from product development to the introduction
to the market was devided into modules, based on the expertise of the
author in industry. In this way a step by step and therefore risk minimizing
entrance to technology intensive development projects was made possible.
The target group was small and medium sized enterprises, producing industry
as well as companies providing production related services.
Smart Textile Platform
since
2006
In the context of the ATINET project a group of textile
technology companies formed and voiced their interest for creating a
platform allowing the organisation of events, project planning and
multi-disciplinary smart textiles research projects by integration of
micro electronics and micro system technology (sensors and actuator).
The platform is now operative and managed by the ÖTI (Institut für
Ökologie, Technik und Innovation). In addition to the OGMS and the
Institute for Sensor and Actuator Systems at the Vienna University of
Technology, the trade association of clothing industry, the trade
association of textile industry as well as the trade association of
electronics industry (FEEI) are partners in the project.
The online platform is an exchange tool and meeting place for companies
wanting to find new
products. The smart textile platform informs interested companies in the clothing and textile industry about possibilities
to improve products,
processes and services with the help of the integration of technology.
Further on it is the goal to support active companies in the adaptation and
development of their new ideas.
Regional Technology Days
2007
The Technology Days have the goal to disseminate information about the
application possibilities of new technologies, processes and services to
companies. At the same time it is possible to have (confidential) meetings with experts
about the issues of the companies in these areas.
The strategy of the project is to implement the model of
Technology Days successfully held in Switzerland and Germany also in Austria. The
events were held in Leobersdorf, Stainz and Wr. Neustadt. Lectures of
Prof. Detter and presentations of other experts informed SMEs about trends
and developments in the use of new technologies as well as presented contact
parters in the respective technology fields.
The Technology Days were held at the regional technology respectively
start-up centers. The invitations were sent by the local politicians
(mayor, regional politicians) and local media introduced and reported from the event with
articles and press releases.
CEPIT
(Central European Park for Innovative Technology)
CEPIT is a project that is in the planning stage. It
aims to develop a science and technology park in a
strategically beneficial location in a district of the city of Bratislavas
(Vajnory) which is in the central European location between Prag, Vienna
and Budapest. Prof. Detter developed the CEPIT project concept for the
technology park in his function as scientific and technology consultant.
CEAMAT
(Center of Excellence for Applied Manufacturing
Technologies)
2007-2008
Reseach Promotion Initiative for SMEs at the FH
JOANNEUM in Graz
The PTO program of study - Production Technology and Organisation - at the
University of Applied Science Joanneum in Graz is offering a dual trace program
that is in high demand by Styrian SMEs. In cooperation with the OGMS an
ATI NET module with focus on production and process technology for a
sustainable production was developed.
CEAMAT applies the processes of problem identification and
solution finding that were developed in the two year ATINET project where
new technologies were successfully introduced to SMEs. The PTO partner
network consists of 120 companies. This network is responsible for
supplying access and information about funding programs and for connecting
competencies and services of consulting companies, educational
institutions and research organisations in Styria.
SiLu
(Air-borne Security)
Project in the framework of the Austrian Research Promotion Program for
Security – KIRAS (2008-2009)
Austrian citizens have a right to enjoy effective protection and
unhindered functional capability of critical infrastructure. This is also
applied to security aspects of climate and environment. The realisation of
this requirement will be demonstrated with the project "Air-borne
Security", this means the use of air-borne technology including the
respective information and knowledge management.
The goal of this study is to find an integrated approach for an
intellectual property cluster "Air-borne Security". It is
planned to show
possibilities for establishing an effective national and internationally
competitive industry and research focus where government and industry,
science and research in Austria are connected through a network to better
coordinate and cooperate with partners as requirement for an
economically efficient cooperation on an international level.
It is the core task to give an overview about the possibilities of raising
security, surveillance, reporting and fast reaction for the defense of
potential threats and accidents. Technology wise this mainly means the
development of mounting units that are in motion or stationary in the air.

Start
2008
Concept for a research, technology and innovation
policy instrument for the Austrian Machine and Metal Ware Industry with
the aim to boost their innovation potential in the respective industry
sectors
It was the goal of the study to compile the basics for the development of
a R&D technlogy transfer institution for the Machine and Metal Ware
Industry.
The performance moduls developed (see folder for details) were validated
and rated as important and essential in an opinion poll among the companies. This confirmed that the companies regard such an institution
necessary for the industry specific support, in form of funding
contributions, needed to undertake and improve innovation processes in the
organisations.
At the beginning of the year 2010 the institution „Innovatives Metall
Forschungs- und Technologietransfer GmbH“ will be established as a
subsidiary of AustriaTech (National Organisation for technology policy
measures) to activate the willingness to raise innovation and research
activities of the companies in this industry.
Automotive
Industry
The
Austrian Automotive Supplier Industry is mainly related to and positioned
in the
Machine and Metal Ware Industry [MMI], the Electronics Industry [EEI] and the Chemistry
and Textile Industry. Depending on the turnover in the automotive sector
the companies were more or less affected by the financial crisis.
The OGMS developed a concept to secure the survival of the numerous highly
innovative and high tech companies through the support of research funding
and qualification measures. Based on international secondary research
scenarios were created to understand future trends and general
developments in the automotive sector. This report is an important input
for the companies to be able to adopt a development strategy with knowhow,
product development and qualifications aligned with those trends.
