🔍 Where nature's wonders unfold before your eyes. 🔍 From binoculars to scopes: Last week, our Commercial Counsellor for the Nordics, @Martin Glatz and Commercial Attaché @Lisa Streng-Schmid had the pleasure of visiting the Swarovski Optik CAMPEX Stockholm, nestled in the heart of the city`s nature. Fusing the two words “Camp” and “Experience”, CAMPEX aims to offer a global brand experience in a local setting. It is designed as a hybrid office, showroom, and store, focussing on hunter, birder, and outdoor enthusiasts. “Visitors to CAMPEX can not only see our products but put them through the acid test in the environment for which they were developed”, explains Fredrik Jonsson, Swarovski Optik`s CEO for the Nordics. Martin didn't need to be told twice and tested an AI-powered pair of binoculars that automatically identifies birds and displays their names in various languages. By making nature watching more accessible and educational for everyone, @Swarovski Optik further emphasises the brand´s consumer-centric approach towards product design. A big thank you to Fredrik and his team for showcasing how innovation can bring us closer to nature. 🍃🦅 🦉    ⚠️ In case you want to be brought closer to branded experiences by Austrian businesses, please just drop us a line. #AdvantageAustriaNordics #Birdwatching #AI #NatureLovers

What an unforgettable evening at the Nobel Museum! Last night, Kathrin Reinsberger, Alexander Zeitlberger, Johannes Vock and I had the privilege to join a delegation of Austrian entrepreneurs and business leaders, for an inspiring evening hosted by ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA. We had insightful conversations on innovation and business expansion in Sweden, sharing our experiences of living and working in this vibrant country. The exchange of ideas was not only enriching but also a reminder of the strong ties between Austria and Sweden. The Nobel Museum provided the perfect backdrop, where the legacy of Alfred Nobel, patents, and groundbreaking innovations served as an inspiring reminder of what’s possible when visionary minds come together. Thank you to everyone for a fantastic and inspiring evening and for the generous invitation, Martin GLATZ! #Innovation #BusinessExpansion #Sweden #Entrepreneurship #Networking #NobelMuseum #AdvantageAustria

🚀 The mission: accelerate the world’s transition to carbon neutrality. 🇦🇹 From hydroelectric power and wind energy to solar, geothermal, tidal and biomass energies - #Austria already has a strong reputation in renewable energies. In 2018 a new player has entered the scene, approaching sustainable energy supply from a different, “no-waste” angle. ⚡️Headquartered in Austria, OnZero is specialising in #heatrecovery from high-performance computation centres. By using fossil-free energy to generate computation power in the first place, the company drives sustainable heating and – based on its smart load-balancing system - helps to stabilize electricity grids and prevent blackouts. With a subsidiary in Hong Kong and already two power plants in the Swedish municipalities of #Fagersta and #Motala, the leadership team of OnZero has now set course for Finland. “The general like-mindedness as well as the innovative spirit within the Nordic region are a powerful leverage when further expanding our international offer”, states the company`s CEO, Vlado Stanic. 👋🏻 To further discuss Austrian companies and specific trends in the renewable energy sector, please reach out to our industry expert Simon Oswald. #AdvantageAustriaNordics #renewableenergy #sustainableenergy #greentech
