First Price in State Technological Innovation Award goes to AMST

The Austrian Industry is very export orientated, primarily to the European Community but also to many overseas countries. In order to maintain this high level, and to succeed toward foreign contenders, our products must be more innovative than theirs.

The State Award for "International Business" is one of the instruments, encouraging think tanks such as AMST toward increased R&D activities. The appraisal factors are:

- Level of Innovation, which implies novelty of the
  product/technology
- Benefit for Customers and Operators,
- Commercial Exploitation
- Commercial Benefit for the Company
- National Economy Effects
- Environmental Effects

		Richard Schlüsselberger, AMST President & Owner and Michael Mayrhofer, DESDEMONA Project Manger received this prestigious award from the State Governor and State Secretary of Economy during a gala night banquet.

The Innovation Award is the “Class Distinction” for High-Tech Austrian Export Companies, as well as the recognition of AMST's national and international performance and contributions to safety during flight.
