DEAR READERS,<br />
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 />
building use through building information<br />
modelling.<br />
We hope you will be able to draw<br />
much inspiration for your next ‘world‘s<br />
1st’ project.<br />
