May brings a lot that’s new: in this issue we provide an even reader-friendlier design with new sections and clearer identification of thematic areas. And you’ll also feel the difference due to a new recycling paper marked with the EU flower for especially environmentally-compatible design. Please find a considerable volume of news concerning energy and environmental technology from Styria, the „green“ valley of Europe located in Austria (p. 8). Fitting for the summer season you will also find a report on solar cooling (p. 6), the roots of which are located in Styria. The challenges of the overall economic situation naturally have an impact on energy and environmental technology firms as well. The winners are those who change their strategy in time and with better products take advantage of opportunities with their customers (p. 4). And enjoy a glimpse at promising innovations from Styrian companies (p. 10).
The entire ECO team wishes you exciting and promising reading…
