On 19 May 2025, Styrian Minister (Landesrat) for Economic Affairs, Labour, Finance, Science and Research Willibald Ehrenhöfer invited Andreas Falk, CEO of BNN and coordinator of InnoMatSyn, to speak about the strategic importance of advanced materials, and BNN’s key role in this field via coordinating both our project and the national project ATIMA.

After describing BNN’s role in both projects and their potential impact on the Styrian, Austrian and European advanced materials ecosystems, Andreas Falk also explained how circularity and the implementation of SSbD will be crucial for bringing scientific findings to the benefit of society. 

It is a great policy signal to have members of the Styrian State Council supporting advanced/ innovative materials on the regional, national and European levels!
