Houska Prize Nomination 2024

Promoting business-related research and innovation is not only essential for strengthening Austria as a business location but also the declared goal of the Houska Prize. Innovation performance and economic impact are key criteria in its selection process.

With “High-Precision Scanning Mirrors for 3D Measurement Technology and Satellite Communication”, we have this year been nominated for this prestigious prize, which was awarded end of April 2024. Next to the applications in 3D sensors, fast steering mirrors are a key component for optical satellite communication. Together with Micro-Epsilon as industrial partner, the developed research results have already been implemented into first products.
For more information on the project, check out the nomination video. It was an extraordinary event with excellent research projects and highly deserving winners. Congratulations again to all award recipients!
