Carinthia - EBS Hotspot
The micro-electronics industry in Austria’s south
Carinthia is one of the hotspots of the European microelectronics industry – of Electronic Based Systems (EBS), to be precise, the unsung heroes of the electrical and electronics industry.

Without the functions of Electronic Based Systems, applications such as automated driving, the Internet of Things (IoT), intelligent infrastructures or Industry 4.0 would not be possible. EBS are the key technologies behind all state-of-the-art applications and innovations. Carinthia’s core areas in this respect are Embedded Systems, power electronics, materials and sensor technology. In addition to a range of high-quality degree and training programmes, Carinthia offers many job opportunities in internationally active companies with a high technological skill set.

Excellent research facilities also foster innovation and growth. In addition to Joanneum Research Robotics and Fraunhofer Austria, the Silicon Austria Labs constitute yet another clearly focused, cutting-edge research institution. These organisations are lifting research of electronics-based systems on a completely new level, within a network of science and industry.
