Business Locations & Mobility

Selection of business locations

The right location can be the advantage that puts your business on the lead. The business site has become an entrepreneurial resource of success. Site planning and location analysis both play a strategically important role in the management of a company and should build the basis of knowledge for the actual location decision.

Through the development and deployment of innovative and novel approaches, the processes of site planning and location analysis are getting more transparent. In this case, aspects of sustainability play a major role and will help to define the economical, ecological and social requirements and challenges for the future location. The planning of logistics locations poses another important field of application, where major challenges are being expected due to technical trends and developments.

Sustainable mobility

Sustainable freight mobility and last-mile logistics are essential for reaching the goals of climate change. The Upper Austria Mobility Laboratory (MobiLab OÖ) supports relevant mobility innovations in development, testing and implementation. The cooperation of companies for supporting sustainable mobility of their employees is another essential point of the research field.
