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 presentations were changed on a quarterly basis and were created in that cycle in collaboration with the Lower Austrian venture capital fund tecnet equity and the technology incubator accent.
Medical technology and life science
This round, which was on display from 3 June 2024, featured ten projects from the fields of medical technology and life sciences. In addition to showcasing the capability to simulate the visual outcome of eye surgery before the procedure, the exhibition presented a new drug-free approach to treating depression, the prototype of a high-tech wearable for people with diabetic neuropathy, non-invasive methods for comprehensive health diagnostics and a project that used virtual reality to help treat mobility impairments caused by Parkinson's disease. The presentation also included projects that analysed drug tolerability using genetic data, assessed the risk of pandemics based on virus detection, studied diseases with optogenetic models and investigated pulse wave analysis in zero gravity, potentially enabling new therapies on Earth.
