Austria’s role as important driving force behind innovative mobility concepts is also shown in the key area of autonomous driving. Numerous companies develop and test the transport solutions of tomorrow here. For example, TTTech, originally a spin-off of the Vienna University of Technology, is now a global player thanks to its "MotionWise" software. Corporations such as Samsung and Infineon are investing in the cutting-edge technology for safe, self-driving cars. The proving grounds for automated driving offered by Digitrans and ALP.Lab provide two of the most multifaceted testing areas for autonomous driving in all of Europe.

The products encompass the entire spectrum from railway carriages, tracks, safety and control technology to metro systems and high-speed trains. The rail transport portfolio also includes completely new segments such as cargo, logistics, tourism, planning, project management, environmental compatibility and international partnerships. The national rail industry, featuring an export ratio of 64%, is also an important factor in Austrian foreign trade: On average, two out of three euros generated by the Austrian rail industry are earned abroad. This makes Austria one of the leading countries in the railway sector featuring one of the world's most efficient railway systems.
