Prototyping & Testing

Bringing Technologies into Application Faster

Transforming a validated design into a functional product is often the most challenging step in the innovation process. Silicon Austria Labs (SAL) helps companies turn new technologies into prototypes, demonstrators and application-oriented systems while validating their performance under realistic operating conditions.

From electronics and microsystems to sensors, power electronics, wireless communication technologies and photonic devices, SAL provides comprehensive prototyping, integration and testing capabilities.
