Goals and measures

The CDG pursues business and socio-political objectives. It contributes to the building of a society in which people can develop their entrepreneurial and scientific skills. Consequently, they create benefit and advantages for Austrian business and science and thus for Austria as a whole.

The CDG achieves this goal by funding the joint research of companies and universities, universities of applied sciences and research institutions as the basis for future innovation. Both partners - science and business - are indispensable and make equivalent contributions.
