Offer for companies

Our offer for businesses and industry

St. Pölten UAS acts innovatively and creatively in the service of society and as a partner to businesses and industry. Its aim is to establish itself as an exemplary open platform for collaborative innovation in the Higher Education sector.

With application-oriented approaches it contributes to overcoming major social challenges in a regional and (inter)national context, supports the objectives of the "Alliance for Responsible Science", communicates science to the wider general public and supports founders in the developing of new business ideas.

St. Pölten UAS aims to create a benefit for the economy and society through its practice-oriented teaching and application-oriented research and development (R&D). The high significance of R&D at the UAS is demonstrated above all by the wide range of different activities in the institutes and fields of competence.

In the area of research funding and business start-ups St-Pölten UAS collaborates with prominent funding bodies (FFG, AWS, FWF, GFF etc.).

Cooperation opportunities

Projects are carried out jointly with national and international partners from business, science and administration. There are two categories: publicly funded R&D projects and contract research.

Contract research

In the field of contract research, St. Pölten UAS works on the contractor's specific questions, often in cooperation with them. Instruments such as feasibility studies, evaluations, studies, development of prototypes, usability tests, etc. are used.

Publicly funded research projects

Research questions can be worked on within the framework of (often competitively awarded) publicly funded research projects, often in cooperation with business partners or other stakeholders. Personnel and material costs (or parts thereof) are covered by the funding agency.

St. Pölten UAS is strongly represented in relevant national (e.g. FFG, FWF) and regional funding programmes, such as NFB, and increasingly also in international funding schemes.

Our researchers are experienced partners in the application, implementation and execution of such projects. Projects are usually carried out in partnership with other universities and/or businesses, both national and international.

Innovation Voucher

The Innovation Voucher is a support programme for small and medium-sized enterprises in Austria of the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft -FFG), to enable access to continuous research and innovation activities.
