...we need the 4-I strategy: innovation, investment, information and internationalisation. Only with innovative technologies can we achieve the energy transition and the climate goals. For innovative products, we need more support and funding for research and development - especially simplifications for SMEs. Subsequently, there must also be more investment in these innovative technologies. The public sector should set a positive example in project implementation and also provide start-up funding. In order to get the technologies onto the market, there is of course a need for comprehensive information and additional support for internationalisation, especially for SMEs. In this way, the Austrian economy benefits and at the same time the innovative technologies make a significant contribution to climate protection in other regions.
