Research Areas

Information and Production Technologies

Manufacturing of products and goods is a major keystone supporting the prosperity and competitiveness of Europe in global markets. Comprehensive advances in production processes from increased digitalisation to optimisation in the sense of a functioning and low CO2 circular economy are required to secure the European business landscape.

Human Technologies and Medicine

JOANNEUM RESEARCH is the link between fundamental medical research and industrial applications. Strategic partnerships with local and international partners from business and scientific communities enable JOANNEUM RESEARCH to be an interdisciplinary supplier of turnkey solutions in the areas of medicine, pharmacy, medical technology and supply research in the medical field.

Society and Sustainability

The internationally agreed climate goals offer the European manufacturing industry many opportunities during the transition to climate-neutral production. The best possible alignment must be found between the aspects of resource use, environmental impact and economic efficiency. This is achieved with evidence-based innovation strategies, data-based technology developments and regional location assessment.

Trivia

The name JOANNEUM RESEARCH is derived from Archduke John (1782-1859), who was very interested in natural sciences. The slogan of the company is „The Innovation Company“.
