Innovation

Leader in key technologies

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, we are focussing on future-oriented business models. Based on our proven TÜV NORD testing services, we are investing in emerging areas in a rapidly evolving technology landscape. These include cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing and semiconductors.

Quantum-secure communication for the financial sector between Vienna and Frankfurt

Quantum-secure communication is not a distant dream, but a very real challenge. After all, the threat is already upon us. Data can be intercepted – and, in the future, decrypted using quantum computers. That is precisely why we at the TÜV NORD GROUP, together with our colleagues at TÜVIT, are supporting the EU project QUAPITAL. A quantum-secure communication link spanning more than 1,000 kilometres between Vienna and Frankfurt for use in the financial sector.

What makes this special?

  • It has been designed as a practical use case, not merely as a laboratory experiment
  • Collaboration between technology, the financial sector and IT security
  • An important step towards digital sovereignty in Europe

Our role at TÜVIT: building trust where new technology meets the highest security requirements.

Venture Clienting @ TÜV NORD

innoTANK works closely with our Business Units to identify scenarios for future challenges. Using the strategic foresight method, various future scenarios are developed that allow concrete ideas and measures to be derived for the orientation of the TÜV NORD GROUP service portfolio. The colleagues at innoTANK support the development of new services and the optimization of processes through the targeted search for solution partners. innoTANK is internationally networked in start-up networks. With the Venture Clienting program, innoTANK supports the business units in launching pilot projects with the solution partners found and takes on the bureaucratic work. This allows the business units to concentrate fully on the solution in order to test it quickly and cost-effectively and introduce it later. Numerous pilot projects have already been initiated, some of which have been successfully completed and implemented.

This innovative approach by innoTANK was awarded the German Excellence Prize in the Business Model category in 2025.
