The increase in the research to GDP ratio in Austria from 1.73 percent in 1998 to the expected level of 3.19 percent in 2018 is also due to the subsidiaries of multinationals such as Boehringer Ingelheim or Infineon which carry out research in Austria.

According to the latest forecasts, the research expenditures of all companies based in Austria will rise to EUR 6.11 billion, comprising a rise of 6.8 percent from 2017. About EUR 1.95 billion will flow from abroad.

In an EU comparison for the year 2016, Austria’s research/GDP ratio of 3.15 percent ranks second, surpassed only by Sweden (3.25 percent) but ahead of Germany (2.94 percent), Denmark (2.87 percent) and Finland (2.75 percent).

Austria as a Trailblazer for the Circular Economy

For years the idea of the circular economy embodies the vision of an economy with controllable resource consumption. Pioneer work was carried out, for example, by the European Union with its “Circular Economy Package”. This creates the foundation for enabling (secondary) raw materials to remain in the economic cycle as long and efficiently as possible. This can be done if attention is paid to economical raw material use, durability and repairability and reusability at the beginning of the value chain, and that the materials can be optimally collected, sorted and recycled after their use.
