Expertise and digital infrastructure in Salzburg
Salzburg ranks first among the Austrian federal states in terms of expanding digital infrastructure. This includes the provision of ultra-fast broadband access with speeds exceeding 100 Mbps. The expansion and support of future-oriented study programs, collaborative projects between academia and industry, as well as the digitalisation initiative for businesses, have already proven successful in practice. Particularly in the field of digitalisation, it is the fast-paced advancements that point the way to the future. In Salzburg, we respond to these developments by implementing a 5G research infrastructure and related projects.
