ASCII Advisory Board Meeting

Our annual Advisory Board meeting took place last week, where we were able to discuss welcome input for the future direction of ASCII. Society at large is at an inflection point: Not only do we have wars on our doorstep, but we also have to meet the challenges of the green transition. As a result, the export-led economic growth model of recent years is increasingly unraveling.   

But these challenges also highlight the important role that a pioneering institution like ASCII can play. Our research enables data-driven, near-term responses to the economic disruptions of our time. One example is the Supply Chain Pressure Index, which we launched in June. For the first time, it is possible to map supply chain bottlenecks affecting Austrian companies in a timely manner.   

Of course, research has to be financed. That is why we are grateful to have the Federal Ministry of Labor and Economic Affairs and the state government of Upper Austria as effective partners at our side.

Component-Based Analysis of the Passenger Car Production in Austria

The automotive industry is challenged by dynamics of change resulting from the green transition. A group of ASCII researchers worked on a technical background report on the state of the production of passenger car parts. The report is intended to serve as a methodological basis for further research.
