in deutscher SpracheAustria’s and Europe’s economic performance depends in large measure on the production of material goods and thus on industrial activity. Globalisation has brought the shift of production sites as well as research and development to non-European countries, posing big challenges for us. Asian countries, and especially China and India, have long ceased to be just “the West’s workbench”. The development of this region towards a knowledge-based society cannot be stopped. Which trends are to be expected for the production of material goods in Europe and Austria? What about the opportunities and risks and how can public authorities and R&D policy react to them?
