As part of the strategic concept 'Villach 2020', the scope of 'IT, biomimetics and convergence' was presented as one of the global trends. The city of Villach will connect these fields with the opportunity to strengthen core competencies of the business location.
"The city of Villach is deve- loping into an international center of excellence for biomometics in energy systems" said Mayor Helmut Manzenreiter.
In this context, Mr Manzenreiter reminds that, as is generally known, the city of Villach has contended for establishing the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences - Fachhochschule Kärnten - and these suitable for the location programs and also contributes a significant proportion of costs: The Carinthia University of Applied Sciences - Fachhochschule Kärnten - is of great importance for a dynamic development. On the one hand it is important for our local economy, on the other hand many, especially young graduates will usually find a quick Job!"
