Innovation & Technology
As a globally leading steel and technology group, we as voestalpine embodies innovation in the industry. The challenges of digitalization, automation and AI are implemented in innovative production processes.
When every hundredth of a second counts on the ice, every detail matters. That’s why numerous international athletes rely for training and competition on high-precision bimetal blades from bohlerstrip, including at the 2026 Winter Olympics

Our research activities are as diverse as the voestalpine Group itself. Our strategy determines what we research and which projects are given priority, so that they support our value-adding growth in the best possible way. The following examples present a few of these research projects that are so important to us:

greentec steel
Cars, machines, trains, and so much more: if we have our way, all these everyday items will be made from green steel in the future – from greentec steel. The new steel production process, which uses green electricity and a high proportion of scrap, will not only be clean and climate-conscious. It will also be […]

An old steel girder that once supported a building becomes part of a new bridge. This is how the steel cycle works: durable, but not infinite. At the end of its useful life, steel returns as a valuable raw material. This is crucial for green steel production, because the switch to electric arc furnaces (EAF) […]

With H2FUTURE, we are researching the industrial production of green hydrogen, which is intended to replace fossil fuels such as coal and coke in steel production in the long term. The world’s longest-operating electrolysis plant at the Linz site provides important research results for our future steel production.
