100% Climate & Circular Solutions

“Dear partners! 2025 was a year in which we raised the bar together. With our new Strategy 2030, we are positioning Green Tech Valley as the world’s number one tech hub for 100% climate protection and circular economy solutions. This ambition stems from our strength: an exceptionally dense ecosystem of over 300 companies and research institutions that is already setting standards in international rankings. In our focus areas – from hydrogen and the circular economy to AI and new business models – we want to shape climate protection, sustainability and competitiveness with profitable solutions.

What makes this valley so special is evident on every page of this annual report: 30,200 green tech jobs, €8.2 billion in revenue, €250 million in cooperative R&D volume in 150 innovation projects that we have initiated together over the past five years. The energy is palpable – at Innovators Clubs, CEO Circles, Green Utopia, in start-ups, in Hydrogen Valley, on export trips and in Green Tech Radars, which make market opportunities visible at an early stage. The achievements of this community create tangible visions.

2026 will be a year in which we continue to build on this momentum. We will scale technologies, close cycles, tap into new markets and make Austria’s leading role in the European climate innovation space more visible than ever on the international stage. Thank you for your trust, your commitment and your dedication to our shared future.”
