R&D:R
Production:SAL conducts R
Services:With strategic and contract research as well as in cooperation with industrial partners, SAL conducts research on both model and hardware level, but also includes the corresponding system intelligence. In addition to numerous highly equipped laboratories (including a Metrology Lab, Environmental Lab and an Optics Lab), an ISO class 5 clean room for processing chips and wafers as well as using the latest packaging technologies is available for research in Villach.
Sales/Distribution:The cooperative research model offers industrial partners access to infrastructure and know-how along the entire value chain. 50% of the project volume is financed by SAL, while the cash contribution from the industrial partners only amounts to 25% of the total project volume. The remaining 25% is contributed by industry through in-kind services.
