Both climate change and the current energy crisis are continually showing us just how current challenges are impacting our society. Organized by the Institute for Smart Actuators at the JKU in Linz, the first Smart Actuators Day featured presentations and several examples demonstrating how important smart actuators are in this context. Academics, scientists, students, and industrial representatives were very interested in the topic, actively taking part in the discussions.

The presentations ranged from systems that support significant energy reduction at industrial plants to developments in the field of e-mobility.

As part of his presentation, Dr. Matthias Kornfeld (head of Product Development at HOERBIGER Vienna), remarked: "We believe technology is key to a better world." Dr. Kornfeld outlined the importance of collaboration efforts between industry and university research to find approaches and solutions that address current and future social challenges.
