The Center’s mission is to be the one-stop-shop Austrian Research Center for Blockchain (and related) technologies to be applied in industrial applications like industry 4.0 / IoT as well as financial, energy, logistics, government and administrative applications. Those new applications and business models resulting from collaborations between established players, innovative startups and top R&D institutes will be the key for the creation of new jobs and establishing Austria among the top ten innovative countries in Europe.
Together with our scientific partners we provide services for a wide variety of industries ranging from Financial Services to Manufacturing. Our research is partially funded under the COMET program of the Austrian Federal Financing Agency.
