Organization of Research and Development

Research and development at voestalpine are decentralized and located close to both the respective production facilities and the market. This global network of over 70 sites is controlled by the Research Board and through Research Coordination. Several formats serve to promote knowledge sharing and exploit synergistic potential: The Research Committee is responsible for comparative work regarding the research programs as well as for helping R&D managers to network; Group projects link the knowledge available in individual divisions; R&D expert clusters offer platforms for researchers to discuss particular topics; and the so-called Synergy Platform (the Group’s own annual conference that receives external inputs from internationally renowned experts) also promotes face-to-face meetings and networking.
