<strong>Green</strong> technology is a growth sector in Styria, which we<br />
will continue to emphasise in the coming years, as I believe<br />
it important to push ahead with the expansion of green<br />
technologies in the interests of a sustainable future for the<br />
next generations.<br />
The regional companies in the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Tech</strong><br />
“<br />
sector have grown considerably over the past<br />
ten years and already provide jobs for more<br />
than 21,000 employees.<br />

The contribution to this growth comes not just from<br />
the large leading companies but also from the small<br />
and medium sized enterprises, which have successfully<br />
positioned themselves in niche markets. Over and above<br />
these successful companies, we have an industrial cluster,<br />
which for a number of years has come to be regarded as<br />
the best <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Tech</strong> cluster in the world, together with<br />
excellent research facilities, as exemplified in the area<br />
of competence centres. If through this we are able to<br />
further network basic and applied research, we will be<br />
able to stimulate further investment and thus create more<br />
new jobs.<br />
