NXP: Key Technologies from Austria for a Connected World

Austria offers technology companies a reliable, high-performing environment for key technologies such as semiconductors, AI and automotive software. Particularly valued is the close cooperation between academia, industry and clusters such as Silicon Alps, which works effectively even across provincial borders. Short distances, political stability, high levels of security and quality of life make Austria an attractive long-term proposition—especially for international professionals and highly specialised R&D teams.

NXP is strategically positioning its Gratkorn site as a global R&D center of excellence for security, cryptography, and contactless technologies. At the same time, TrustMotion is developing innovative automotive software solutions and system architectures at the Vienna site that strategically expand the portfolio.

Close cooperation with TU Graz, TU Vienna research institutions and partners within the innovation ecosystem ensures access to talent and new momentum. Diversity plays a central role: different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives foster innovation and strengthen competitiveness. Investments in modern working environments, infrastructure and work-life balance support this strategy sustainably. The sites continue to grow, and NXP plans to keep investing in Austria in the future.

The ABA supports international technology companies throughout their activities in Austria—from talent and location-related issues to strategic networking. It helps companies access relevant stakeholders, advises on international talent issues, and strengthens Austria’s visibility as a high-tech location. For established companies like NXP, the ABA is an important interface for strengthening and further developing Austria as a location over the long term. For NXP in particular, the ABA is a reliable partner, especially when it comes to international specialists coming to Austria.
