Many Styrian areas, formerly industrial or agricultural regions, are struggling with change and the associated loss of regional authenticity. To counteract this loss, it is important to recognize what is already there. Using these tangible and intangible resources innovatively to increase the region's added value is more promising than following short-term trends that have no connection to the region and its special features.
The global goal of Smart-Up is to strengthen young companies (<5 years) in the Austrian/Hungarian border region through support and coaching and to improve their innovation performance and to create a cross-border economic community to anchor long-term innovative and economic cooperation. The project activities create active cooperation between young companies and start-ups in both countries.
As part of the DigiAgro project, funded by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Regions and Tourism, the Province of Styria and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, JOANNEUM University of Applied Sciences and CAMPUS 02 University of Applied Sciences are conducting a series of interviews. The aim of these interviews is to assess the needs of Styrian fruit and winegrowing with regard to digital technologies and skills and to identify relevant stakeholders in Styrian fruit and winegrowing.
A business model innovation introduces a new logic for how a company generates value for its customers and itself. The more a GM innovation deviates from the existing business model (GM), the greater the transformation effort and the greater the risk.
Austria's only post and telegraph museum is currently housed in Eisenerz. In this project, a strategic concept and a business plan for a possible relocation to Bruck an der Mur are being developed in cooperation with the Accounting and Controlling course at CAMPUS 02 University of Applied Sciences.
There is a great need for tools that can support companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in their service pricing activities. A framework for service pricing and controlling is to be developed for these e-services, the tools of which are also useful for SMEs.
Austrian regions, characterized by small political structures and, in some cases, geographical remoteness, have often lost their technological and touristic connection. Years of attempts to counteract this negative trend have often resulted in the typical "brand" of a municipality becoming "indifferent" attempts to imitate national and international examples, which have done little to restore the strength of regional power and authenticity.
The aim of this project is to apply a completely new approach to regional and municipal development, but not to participate in an existing "regional development strategy".
Corporate entrepreneurship is defined as the commitment of an existing company to promote innovation by raising resources for the development of new entrepreneurial ventures, new products, services or processes, the renewal of strategies and market positioning.
Global competition has generated a need among all the enterprises, and especially small and middle enterprises (SMEs), to adjust their strategies for their survival. There is a general belief that the future accelerated growth and sustainability of SMEs will largely depend on the use of appropriate technology and the acquisition and absorption of knowledge.
The general objective of TTTEA is to increase and upgrade skills and competences of European SMEs in the field of transnational technology transfer and accelerate public and private stakeholder organizations in increasing their responsiveness to SMEs skills needs.
Shortened technology and product life cycles are increasingly forcing companies to launch new products and services on the market at short intervals. However, systematically generating ideas and quickly filtering out the right ones from many ideas in a structured manner and implementing them is a critical process with serious consequences. However, there are extensive tools and methods of "systematic innovation" that can provide significant support for this process. The Innovation Management degree program has a high level of expertise and experience in providing in-service training in this specialist discipline. Based on this expertise and the close contact with industry, special qualification measures were carried out together with the corporate partners ZETA Biotechnik GmbH, STARMANN Metallbau GmbH and AT&S Austria Technologie &Systemtechnik AG, which covered the qualification of the companies by expanding the skills of the employees of the respective engineering core team in the areas of creativity technology and TRIZ.
The probability of success of new products and services on the market depends very much on the alignment of developments with customer needs. The earlier and more structured these needs are identified in the innovation process and incorporated into development, the lower the flop rate on the market. In the FOKUS research project, a set of methods and tools suitable for SMEs was developed and tested on the basis of two specific use cases from business practice.
