The province builds partnerships in renewable energies with Austrian companies, researchers and local governments

Businessmen, scientists, professionals and specialized journalists, along with specialists from the Government of Santa Fe, visited companies and research centres in the Austrian cities of Vienna and Graz, in search of partnerships for new investments in the Province and technology transfer for the development of renewable energies, sustainable mobility, automotive and the generation of new green jobs.

Last Friday, the Minister of Environment, Jacinto Speranza; the Undersecretary of Science, Technology and Innovation, Alejandro Cappadoro; the Provincial Director of Renewable Energies, Roberto Bisso; and the Director of Climate Change, Eduardo Roude, accompanied the entourage from Santa Fe entrepreneurs and researchers of Conicet and Incape/Conicet UNL to meet with the vice president of AVL, Marko Dekea, and with those responsible for the engineering, Fuel Cell and Business: Jurgen Rechberger, Guillermo Pezzeto and Frazaneh Moradi.

AVL is one of the largest companies in the world, leader in development for F1 and FE, and also in simulation and testing technology. They are global benchmarks in the development of hybrid vehicles, combustion engines, transmission and electric vehicles, batteries and software. It has around 6200 employees worldwide and its horizon is the need to expand its growth in South America, which is why from this relationship, efforts were initiated to acquire technology and to partner in the development of the local automotive pole.

After the visit, Bisso argued, “The meetings with Austrian businessmen and researchers encourage us to deepen our developments creating partnerships and building synergies of work with those who have been experimenting in Austria for more than a decade in renewable energies. "

"These partnerships will enable us to make our systems more efficient and reliable for the generation of renewable energies and, at the same time, generate more high-grade jobs in our province, " he added.

The Director of Renewable Energies stressed: "There are entrepreneurs committed to the growth of the province and environmentally responsible, and at the same time local scientists drive developments and research that are on the leading edge of knowledge. Our role as government is to provide tools and create a conducive environment to this linkage, which generates quality products and services capable of achieving a triple impact: economic, social and environmental".

The delegation also presented the proposal of the automotive pole before the authorities of MAGMA, one of the most important vehicles developers of the world and leader in automotive technology and particularly the development of electric vehicles.

As results, the coming months the company will visit the province to continue the dialogues aimed at their developments.

As part of the agenda, researchers, businessmen and officials from Santa Fe met with the manager of the Green Technology Cluster in the Styria Region, Bernhard Puttinger, who made a presentation and a description of the companies that make it up and of the objectives pursued in terms of renewable energies, recycling and electric mobility. This bilateral association aims to consolidate the initiatives of the technological poles of the province, and the linkage for the technological transfer with companies from Santa Fe and research and development centers for the generation of energy from of renewable sources.

After the meeting, Cappadoro said, "Responding to these invitations and specifying these visits allows us to strengthen ties with other areas of government, between foreign and local entrepreneurs in the renewable energy sector and with researchers from the scientific system that allows us to address projects of high interest to the province".

"For the local scientific system, the tools obtained in this trip will allow them to advance in new knowledge and develop improvements to transfer to the productive sector. For our ministry, they will allow designing and executing new policies to promote articulation between local and international actors; one of the most important results is that we are advancing in the possibility of making exchanges with the centers and universities visited to deepen the development of energy policies for Santa Fe," added the official.

Along these lines, Roude stressed the importance of "knowing and taking as an example the work of local government in climate change mitigation measures. It is a work with continuity in time in waste treatment, energy efficiency and environmental zoning, through a policy of state reflected in excellent results.

This bilateral partnership will consolidate the initiatives of the technological poles of our province, as well as the linkage for technological transfer of our companies and research and development centers for the generation of energy from renewable sources.
