AC²T research Ltd
Center of Competence for Tribology (Kplus)
Sponsoring the project is AC²T research Ltd (Austrian Center of Competence for Tribology), a quasi-public research corporation whose major shareholders include the Austrian Tribology Corporation along with a number of individuals and research partners from industry and science (university institutes).
In the initiative, initially planned for four years, interdisciplinary tribology-related basic research (friction, wear, lubrication, maintenance and reliability) is commissioned by a consortium of firms and funded by the federal government and the province of Lower Austria.

Austrian Research Centers GmbH –ARC
Field of Biomedical Engineering
This area generates research output in cooperation with clinical and medical partners for the health industry. Clients are on the one hand patients with physical or mental limitations or learning deficits; and on the other hand therapists, medical specialists as well as directors or operators of therapy centers and hospitals.

Competence Center for Applied Chemistry – Kplus ECHEM
Areas of focus include: electrochemical surface treatments; electrochemical environmental technology; electrochemical energy storage and transformation; primary research.
Echem conducts research and development in a clearly defined core competency, “applied electrochemicals”. Its research partners bring their unique, internationally recognized expertise to enable a research program at the highest level of science.

Research Unit for Integrated Sensor Systems/ Austrian Academy of Sciences (FISS, Forschungsstelle für integrierte Sensorsysteme)
Complex sensors play an increasingly important role in modern medicine in enabling personalized diagnoses and therapies. Basic research into these sensor systems is one of the objectives of the Research Unit for Integrated Sensor Systems, founded by the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Integrated sensor systems deliver the prerequisites not only for medical research, diagnosis and therapies but also for technical aspects of environmental protection and numerous industrial applications.
The Research Unit launched in April 2004 with seven scientists with expansion to a staff of 20 is planned over the next four years.

Fotec Ltd
Fotec is a subsidiary of the University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt for Business and Engineering. The Company’s connection to the University, along with its numerous global cooperative ventures, makes it a hub for teaching, science and industry.
Fotec operates the Technikum Wiener Neustadt, an industrial research laboratory for engineering and micro engineering, a class 100-quality clean room and a superbly equipped technology laboratory. The company is also implementing the publicly financed major research project MedAustron.
Fotec carries out industrial and scientific research and development projects. Core competencies lie in the fields of engineering, polymer engineering, and microtechnology.

Technology Consulting Center (Technologieberatungszentrum TBZM)/Austrian Society for Microsystem Technology (OGMS)
OGMS is an industry-oriented association whose mission is comprehensive promotion of sustainable innovations in microsystems technology, TBZM is implemeting these activities in Lower Austria.
Areas of focus include the application of research discoveries in this field in Austrian industry, especially in small and mid-sized enterprises, and the development of a network for microsystems technology including national and international partners within and outside the EU.

IMA Integrated Microsystems Austria
Integrated Microsystems Austria (IMA) was the first development and prototype center for microsystems technology in Austria and has been an industrial competence center since the beginning of 2005 (kind).It has the mission of ensuring a strong and sustained presence for the discipline in the Alpine Republic. This clear tasking makes IMA the contact in microsystems technology development and applications. In addition, IMA has established a presence in the market with its own research and development activities. IMA had its origins in longstanding and successful project teams from the Technical University Vienna, the University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt and the Austrian Research Center Seibersdorf.

Attophotonics Biosciences GmbH
Attophotonics was founded in 2004 by Dr. Thomas Schalkhammer with the aim to create products with active and intelligent design for daily use. Attophonics can produce special color effects in nanometer-thin layers. Nano layers can be applied to the surfaces of goods of all kinds. The sensory nano films interact with their environment and, through a visually discernible color pattern, display water, humidity, temperature, pH-value, ions, magnetic field, pressure and many other environmental factors.
