Over the last decades, the hydropower industry has developed into a successful and innovative sector worldwide. Due to the acquired importance, VGB PowerTech | Hydro has made it its business to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the latest products and services in the hydropower sector with its “Hydropower Industry Guide 2020/21”. 

The aim is to respond to important questions and issues on old and new topics in the hydropower sector. Included is a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the latest products and services offered by the hydropower sector.

We are very happy to be a part of this movement and to be able to continuously research and develop with our product UBIK in the field of hydropower.

​2020 came with many challenges, but despite the challenging situation we have not been shy to start new projects. One of them is “Common Access 2”!

The aim of the project is to support small and medium-sized enterprises on their way to internationalization, with a focus on companies offering products and services in the field of Industry 4.0.

Despite countless lockdowns, we efficiently used the past year to strongly engage with the project and started to analyze the Polish market in more detail. This was also possible without any problems, as the most important results of the project at this stage were linked to the testing of digital tools. Now we are looking forward to the upcoming phases and remain curious to see how the project will develop.

On Friday, November 27, 2020, the most innovative companies in Carinthia were honored by Governor Peter Kaiser, Technology Advisor Gaby Schaunig and KWF Board Members Sandra Venus and Erhard Juritsch, during a live stream press conference from the office of the Carinthian provincial government. Augmensys was able to impress the jury with ARGUS (AR Guided Switching), a new technology to support switching processes in medium voltage networks, and thus won the award in the category “small and medium-sized enterprises”.

In addition, Augmensys and their project ARGUS were nominated as the top company to represent the province of Carinthia at the “State Prize for Innovation” in autumn 2021.

In order to be able to compete successfully, innovations are becoming increasingly important – especially in difficult times like these. Therefore we are truly honored to receive this award, and are proud of our entire team and our partner, KNG – Kärntner Netz GmbH, who made this project with a lot hard work and dedication possible.

GO TEAM!
