Silicone cluster Austria - SPEED DATING goes into the third round

George Niklfeld, program leader FIT-IT, FFG with its lecture: „Successful research teams supports by Austrian High Tech promotion “ (openPR) - positives trial balance: First concrete projects are realized, expansion and internationalization of the network progress

Vienna, on 20 November 2006 - silicone cluster Austria, an initiative for the intensified cross-linking of the Austrian High Tech industry, loaded DATING Event to the third SPEED to Linz. After the successful meetings in Vienna and Graz DICE took over the patronage and welcomed numerous representatives of the industry and research in the recently referred office building in the Freistädter road.

Silicone cluster Austria was brought 2005 by ON AND Microelectronics into being. Basic idea of the cluster is the promotion of the local network and initiating from partnerships to the increase of the international competitive ability of Austrian High Tech enterprise. „Although the Austrian semiconductors scene is clearly visible, knows we actually too few about the business fields, products, authority and the adjustments of the others “, explains Christian Tiringer, CEO of ON AND Microelectronics, the impact for the establishment of the network.

“the SPEED DATING is the ideal platform, in order to learn new industrie and research partners. The concept is convincing, which tendency ungezwungen and after 6 x 20min is one around many contacts enriches “, says protector Markus Schutti, technical director of the department digitally development of the company DICE.

„Successful research teams supports by Austrian High Tech promotion “
Beside „the one ton one “dates the topic research co-operation was a further emphasis with the SPEED DATING in Linz. George Niklfeld, which is responsible at the Austrian research promotion company ltd. (FFG) for the largest Austrian IT-Forschungsförderungsprogramm FIT-IT, was invited, to hold a key note presentation over current Austrian calls. Its lecture „successful research teams supported by Austrian High Tech promotion “encountered large interest with all involved ones. Many participants used it as an opportunity to discuss in the following Meetings a possible co-operation in the context of the applied research.

“In Austria there are outstanding enterprises and research establishments within the range of system on chip. The BMVIT established a successful promotion emphasis with the program line FIT-IT system on chip, and the FFG SPEED DATING supports with joy initiatives like the SoC, by which Austrian Player can form new qualityful research co-operation”, says for George Niklfeld about the value of High Tech promotions and High Tech networks in Austria.

„Over the edge of plate “- international cross-linking
The SPEED DATING organizer are pleased about that positive feedback of the enterprises involved.
