End of Year Commentary & Outlook 2026
“We need optimism!”
by Dr. Stefan Haas, CEO TÜV AUSTRIA Group
In times of multiple crises, it is natural to be cautious, perhaps even pessimistic. In Austria in particular, people tend to see the glass as half empty rather than half full. However, if governments, companies and private individuals are pessimistic, there will be no more investment, neither in infrastructure, industrial plants nor private consumption. The inevitable consequence is that pessimism then becomes reality and there is a lack of impetus for economic recovery.

The history of Acoustic Emission in Italy with TÜV AUSTRIA Italia
TÜV AUSTRIA Italia – founded in 2004 as Blu Solutions srl – has its roots in a pioneering idea by engineer Poillucci,a new method for ten-year inspections of underground tanks in the LPG sector. At a period when integrity checks were almost exclusively invasive, lengthy, and costly, the real revolution was to apply an advanced technique used in high-tech industry: Acoustic Emission (AE).
