Under the leadership of "Liebherr", IT solutions for complex challenges are being sought in Dornbirn. Customers, experts and students from FH Vorarlberg are also involved in the research. 

The "Digital Solution House", which was founded in 2018, is an important part of Liebherr's innovation strategy. IT processes and services developed there are used in practice by the machine manufacturer. The "Digital Solution House" has now been reopened at "Campus V" in Dornbirn. "In addition to internal departments, the open concept also involves external partners such as customers, experts and students. This approach enables diverse perspectives and guarantees innovative solutions for complex challenges," explained Reinhard Krappinger, Divisional Managing Director Technology at "Liebherr".

Cooperation with the FH Vorarlberg
A central component of the "Digital Solution House" is the cooperation with the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences. Students have the opportunity to complete internships, student traineeships and master's theses directly on site. "We are building a bridge between theory and practice and making the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences an important partner. Highly qualified specialists are essential for our challenging development projects." The "Digital Solution House" embodies a forward-looking approach to innovation - with agile processes, fast decision-making channels and the involvement of all stakeholders. An interdisciplinary committee regularly reviews progress.
