The Climate and Energy Fund's FTI Initiative for Industrial Transformation makes an important contribution toward Innovation Capacity and the Competitiveness of Austrian Companies and Research Institutions The program supports industry and technology providers in developing, testing, and demonstrating innovations in real-world settings. This shortens the path from research to market.
The goal of the RTI (Research, Technology, and Innovation) initiative is to develop and implement innovative projects that demonstrate how climate-neutral production in Austria can work. At the same time, the goal is to boost the competitiveness of domestic companies in the global market and anchor Austria more firmly in international value chains. This will permanently increase the resilience and long-term viability of Austria as an industrial hub.
Funding is provided, among other things, for technologies and system solutions in the areas of Electrification, energy efficiency, renewable energy, hydrogen, energy storage, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage by CO₂.
