The world’s 1st in gre<strong>en</strong> tech. The companies<br />

in the <strong>Gre<strong>en</strong></strong> <strong>Tech</strong> Valley and the<br />

<strong>Gre<strong>en</strong></strong> <strong>Tech</strong> Cluster have their sights<br />

firmly set on technology leadership in<br />

the field of <strong>en</strong>vironm<strong>en</strong>tal technology.<br />

With the Sci<strong>en</strong>ce Tower in Graz, this<br />

has once again be<strong>en</strong> prov<strong>en</strong> impressively:<br />

For the first time in the world, the<br />

Grätzel cell is being used as a transpar<strong>en</strong>t<br />

<strong>en</strong>ergy glass for power g<strong>en</strong>eration<br />

on a large scale. A milestone in the<br />

scaling of this technology by Global<br />

Energy Prize Winner <strong>2017</strong> Prof. Michael<br />

Grätzel, implem<strong>en</strong>ted by a pioneering<br />

Styrian company.<br />

The world‘s largest pumped storage<br />

power plant with its technological heart<br />

from Styria sets ‘world‘s 1st’ standards,<br />

as does the plastics recycling<br />

qualities that became possible thanks<br />

to a ‘gre<strong>en</strong> tal<strong>en</strong>t’.<br />

The path to technological innovation<br />

is changing. This <strong>Gre<strong>en</strong></strong> <strong>Tech</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong><br />

provides the tools you need to develop<br />

agile and user-c<strong>en</strong>tric products and<br />

services and reports on growth opportunities<br />

made possible by predictive<br />

maint<strong>en</strong>ance and more sustainable<br />
