Technopol Tulln, Research and technology center in Tulln an der Donau, Austria.
Technopol Tulln is a research and technology center sprawling across a large area on the southeastern edge of the city, housing laboratories and office spaces within distinct specialized zones. The complex divides its operations among biotechnology, agricultural research, and food safety studies.
The facility originated in 1994 as a collaboration between major Austrian universities focused on natural resources research. This founding launched a continuing development of biotechnology and agricultural innovation in the region.
The campus streets are named after scientists: Konrad-Lorenz-Straße, Dr.-Karl-Landsteiner-Straße and Gregor-Mendel-Straße, plus Frauenhofner Straße. The site also grew out of the Tulln sugar factory, where Raiffeisen Bioforschung GmbH was founded in 1986 to research biotechnological uses of agricultural raw materials; Agrana later moved its Gmünd and Fuchsenbigl research here and renamed the centre Zuckerforschung Tulln.
The campus lies on the southeastern edge of Tulln, behind the university hospital, between Konrad-Lorenz-Straße and Dr.-Karl-Landsteiner-Straße, bounded by Frauenhofner Straße to the west and Gregor-Mendel-Straße to the east. The UFT building opened in 2011 with 15,000 m² of laboratories, seminar rooms, two greenhouses and workshops. The site is a working research campus, so access to buildings is arranged through the institutions based there.
The site grew out of the Raiffeisen Bioforschung GmbH, founded in 1986 next to the Tulln sugar factory to study biotechnological uses of agricultural raw materials. In 1993 Agrana moved its sugar research from Gmünd and Fuchsenbigl to Tulln, and since 2014 the expanded building has operated as the Agrana Research & Innovation Center with around 90 employees.
