R&D
Research results from the necessity to resolve problems or to develop new innovative products pr processes.
This requires a thorough analysis of the problem at hand and a great deal of competence with regard to the knowledge of materials and processing technology know-how.
The PolyRegion already hosts the kind of R&D facilities needed to carry out successful research projects.
The following institutions are already at home in the PolyRegion
- Department für Polymer Technology & Science at Montanuniversität in Leoben ( Christian Doppler Labors)
- JUB TRC d.o.o., Dol pri Ljubljani
- PoliMat - Centre of Excellence - Polymer Materials and Technologies
- Polymer Competence Center Leoben GmbH (PCCL)K1-Center in Comet Program
- Tecos, Celje ( Slowenian Slovenian Tool and Die Development Centre)
- Tehnološki center POLI-EKO, Celje
- TU Graz with basic research in Polymerchemistry
- VSTP, Slovenj Gradec (Technical Polymer College)
- W3C Wood Carinthian Competence Center - Kompetenzzentrum Holz GmbH, St. Veit an der Glan

The PolyRegion offers laboratories with the necessary extensive equipment required by a successful research infrastructure; they range from facilities for chemical analysis and material testing to proprietary polymer processing facilities and supplement the broad bandwidth of research areas listed here as examples:
- Polymers in medical technology,
- Renewable resources, degradation and stabilization
- Coatings and adhesives Polymers in solar technology
- Polymers in the paper industry,
- Nano fillers
- Manufacturing process simulation
- Expansion injection molding, co-extrusion,
- Multi-layer films
The individual R&D institutions are represented in the competence map under the heading "Research". The detailed view of each institution shows the respective core competencies and also includes a link to the corresponding homepage
