This has resulted in political decisions, changes in environmental legislation and heightened consumer awareness and attention. These developments and changed framework conditions are now exerting significant pressure on companies to innovate. The seminar therefore aims to support SMEs, which form the backbone of the Austrian economy, in utilising the pressure to innovate as an opportunity to design and market innovative, successful and, above all, ecologically sustainable products and processes.

The seminar offers a low-threshold and application-orientated approach to the topic of "Assessing and improving the sustainability of products and processes". Networked knowledge and application expertise take center stage.
