Company Profile
Silicon Austria Labs (SAL)
Company Profile
Silicon Austria Labs (SAL) is a top European research center for Electronics and Software Based Systems (ESBS). The application-oriented center offers cooperative research at three locations – Graz, Linz and Villach – in the pioneering research areas of Microsystems, Sensor Systems, Intelligent Wireless Systems, Power Electronics and Embedded Systems.
Product & Service
With strategic and contract research as well as in cooperation with industrial and scientific partners, SAL conducts research on relevant key topics with future-oriented development potential. Our unique SAL cooperation model is characterized by the rapid implementation of innovative ideas. With this model, we enable our partners to implement their research idea not only quickly and unbureaucratically, but we also fund 50% of the project costs. The industry partner solely contributes 25% in cash and 25% in in-kind services. The costs are not dependent on the sector; however, they vary depending on the number of project partners. The IP rules for all our projects are in accordance with the European state aid law and every cooperation project is publicly and anonymously advertised for four weeks to enable other suited partners to take part.
