“It affects every single company and therefore our shared business location. It influences competitiveness and future readiness, and at the same time opens up huge new market potential. In order to meet the challenge as a company and optimally utilise the potential of the ongoing transformation, one thing is needed above all: highly qualified experts and IT specialists who are in charge of driving the implementation forward. Every company needs this expertise in-house. And this is precisely where IT:U comes in under the title ‘Interdisciplinary Transformation’ and thus makes an important contribution to Upper Austria as an industrial and business location.”
