Nowadays just about everything depends on information and communication technology. Cars, medical devices or domestic appliances, machinery or consumer electronics: ICT components are used everywhere.

The topics and research fields supported by the FFG in the area of information and communication technology are therefore very wide-ranging. The main focus is on communication, information processing and software technologies. The FFG drives innovation and future-oriented technology.
Just a few examples: funding from the FFG is made available for the development of new methods in industrial manufacturing as well as for optimization of information systems or developments leading to improved energy efficiency or the increased security and reliability of IT systems.

Austria is a Top 3 Location

Our goal is clear: basic and applied technologies are the focus of a knowledge-based economy and we will therefore continue to build on our achievements and secure our leading position in the long term. Our success speaks for itself: Austria is currently one of the top 3 European locations for ICT research.
