Successful in Carinthia
The industrial foundations of a high-tech region
Outsiders often underestimate Carinthia by believing that it is purely a tourism destination. In fact, Carinthia is a high-tech region that bundles essential strengths in the field of industry, IT and the manufacturing sector. The production sector is responsible for more than half of the value creation and approximately half the employment in Carinthia.
Sounds a bit like Silicon Valley? You are not entirely wrong: Around the semiconductor corporation Infineon Austria in Villach, a highly skilled electronics region has grown in recent years, whose impact can be felt as far as Styria and Upper Austria. “Silicon Austria – Silicon Alps” is thus a highly attractive destination for qualified workers looking for a successful future in Carinthia.
Do you have any questions? We are happy to help!
Infineon
The driving force among successful Carinthian businesses
Under the leadership of Infineon Austria, a subsidiary of Infineon Technologies AG, the European research project UltimateGaN (research for GaN technologies, devices and applications to address the challenges of the futureGaN roadmap) was initiated recently. Together with 26 partners from nine countries, Infineon will research the next generation of energy-saving chips. The goal is to miniaturise them and use them in a wide range of applications, from mobile phones to cars and even industrial facilities. This would make an important contribution towards improved energy efficiency and CO2 reduction.
The successful Carinthian business is a subsidiary of Infineon Technologies AG, a globally leading provider of semiconductor solutions, for instance for entertainment electronics, household goods and industrial plants, making life easier, safer and environmentally more compatible.
Did you know? Half of all new radar systems worldwide contain Infineon chips.
