Finding and implementing new pragmatic ways to increase speed, efficiency, excellence and economic impact of RTDI in Austria

Avoiding double-work and focusing on manufacturing-focused basic and applied research

Support development and innovation across individual companies in teams or networks, when needed.

The RTDI focus that is continuously sharpened in its profile aims at specific needs of the Austrian Industry. The prime objective of MANUFUTURE – AT – to safeguard and extend the competitiveness of Austrian Industries by boldly raising efficiency, excellence and exploitation capacity of industry driven research – is highly relevant to the national economy.

Cross-sectorial

– New, added-value products and services: Yes
– New business models: Yes
– New advanced industrial engineering: Yes
– New emerging manufacturing science and technologies: Yes
– Transformation of existing R&D and education infrastructure to support world-class manufacturing: Yes

At EU level:
Several industrial projects on EU level (and beyond), following up of successfully finished European funded (MANU
FUTURE related) projects have been carried out.

At national level:
Several projects in the program lines “FIT-IT” (BMVIT) and “Factory of the future” (FFG), highly related to MANU
FUTURE are currently in operation or have been carried out recently.
Numerous industrial projects, partially as follow up of successfully finished national or European funded projects have been carried out.

Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) is being developed.

In the current phase, MANUFUTURE.at priorises topics of EU-SRA and fills those of them which are most relevant to Austria with live and prepares a position paper – rather than building an own full SRA.

Widespread cooperation and exchange with different NRTP’s is intended and lies within the main focus of the current work.
