The Ecoplus business agency, which works for the state of Lower Austria, has developed into an indispensable player in the promotion of innovations in recent years. Your approach "Innovation through cooperation" aims to closely network companies and research institutions in order to promote new technologies such as additive manufacturing. Due to the close cooperation, the potential of these modern manufacturing methods should be optimally used.

With a dedicated team and a wide network, Ecoplus ensures that companies have access to valuable knowledge, resources and funding. The agency plays an important role in particular in the areas of bioeconomy and health technology. Additive manufacturing is considered a key technology that brings decisive advantages for the development of new products and the improvement of existing processes.

Benjamin Losert, the deputy cluster manager at Ecoplus, explains that additive manufacturing is of great importance not only for the business location of Lower Austria, but for all of Austria. This technology not only enables the revolutionary of traditional manufacturing processes, but also has the potential to significantly change various industries such as automotive production, aerospace and medical technology. Losert emphasizes that knowledge sharing, i.e. the exchange of knowledge and experiences between companies, is crucial to make this change successfully.

The agency also offers every company the opportunity to carry out projects based on add -up manufacturing and thus develop new ideas. An exemplary project shows how a water turbine manufacturer and a university worked to develop an innovative solution for manufacturing processes. Such cooperation often have unexpected positive side effects where new ideas and applications are born during the collaboration.

ECOPLUS is responsible for comprehensive support for companies by acting as the linchpin between business and science. State and federal funding is also used to enable innovative projects.

In his role as a board member of the technology platform at Austria, Losert pursues the goal of emphasizing Austria's international skills in the field of additive manufacturing. This platform has the task of demonstrating the immense potential of technology and encouraging other companies to try innovation processes in their own sector. Innovation -friendly support programs should create the necessary conditions to ensure the country's competitiveness.

The future of additive manufacturing in Austria is promising. The agency Ecoplus strives to continue to position Austria as a leading location for additive manufacturing. The integration of sustainability aspects into the production methods not only increases efficiency, but also reduces resource consumption. This is seen as a decisive factor for global competitiveness, as Losert states.
