Conclusions

Austrian aeronautics industry & research institutions havesubstantially increased capacity over the last years

BMVIT supports these activities via dedicated R&D programmes and additional measures

The Austrian government implemented a new packageincluding taxation, new R&D funds & a reorganisation of the funding infrastructure (FFG)
