The new exhibition format Innovation Corner gives Austrian start-ups and innovative businesses a stage for presenting pioneering technologies. Visitors can learn what innovations are currently being explored and what new ideas are being developed in Austria and get exclusive previews of the first prototypes. In regularly changing presentations, visitors can gain multifaceted insights into a wide range of innovative industry sectors and experience how dynamic, diversified and hands-on the STEM field (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) is, including as an economic and employment sector.
The first exhibition series of the Innovation Corner was implemented in collaboration with Business Upper Austria, the Upper Austrian government’s location agency. Within the one-year line-up, new topics from Business Upper Austria’s #upperVISION2030 strategic programme and/or from the Upper Austrian Innovation Award were highlighted every four months. Both publicly funded projects and young start-ups were represented; what they have in common is that they make promising contributions to research and industry in Upper Austria with their interdisciplinary research approach and sophisticated ideas.
Medical engineering and assistive technology
The first presentation, which was on display at the Technisches Museum Wien (Vienna Museum of Science and Technology) starting 4 October 2022, focused on innovations in the field of medical engineering and assistive technology. Six promising developments and the involved organisations were presented: training software for brain surgeries, a digital health assistant, medical screws made from human bone, a product to alleviate tinnitus, AI-based software to increase the success rate of in-vitro fertilisation and, last but not least, a custom-made alternative to balconies that requires no planning consent. In the Innovation Corner, visitors could witness first-hand the creativity and inventiveness of Upper Austria.
