In May, Selmo was part of a 150-member Austrian economic delegation that traveled to Japan under the leadership of Minister of Economic Affairs Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer and WKO Vice President Philipp Gady. The focus of the trip was the economic mission to EXPO 2025 Osaka, aimed at strengthening Austria's export economy, advancing innovation, and further positioning the country internationally as a competitive hub for research, technology, and entrepreneurial expertise.
High-tech meets high standards
What impressed us most was the strong interest shown by Japanese companies in Austria’s engineering expertise – especially in the areas of automation, digitalization, and sustainable production. This is exactly where Selmo's technology delivers value.
“The openness and interest of our Japanese partners in Austria’s engineering know-how truly impressed us. These encounters strengthen our vision to advance our technology and methodology on a global scale.”
– Markus Gruber, CEO Selmo Technology
