A central component of this progress is the Infineon location in Villach, which acts as part of a growing high-tech cluster. Educational institutions such as the FH Carinthia and the University of Klagenfurt are important partners in this cluster that offers up -to -see companies a suitable home.

It shows potential in the automatic generation of images, music and texts and will also contribute to coping with the climate crisis. The Federal Government presented a comprehensive AI strategy a year and a half ago that aims to ensure wealthy and responsible use of AI in all areas of life.The AI strategy is regularly adapted to current developments, whereby an evaluation of the implementation status is planned in the first half of 2023. This evaluation takes place by the AI Policy Forum in cooperation with the BMF and BMK departments. An update of the strategy is intended to include concrete measures to strengthen the Austrian AI ecosystem, such as increasing data availability and data usage as well as the creation of necessary framework conditions.
Promotion of digital skills
As part of the digital competence offensive, the topic of AI is comprehensively taken into account. In order to support the citizens in the use of these technologies, a contact point for interested citizens will be set up. The continuation of the funding of AI technologies and the creation of a national legal framework are also on the agenda to maximize the advantages of digitization for all areas of society.
With these measures, Carinthia not only proves that digitization is taken seriously, but also that it offers active opportunities for the future.
