Wien (euro adhoc) - Vienna (Austria), December 4, 2008 - Vaccine
developer Intercell AG (VSE: ICLL) today announced that the World
Economic Forum has selected Intercell as a Technology Pioneer 2009.

The WEF selected 34 visionary global companies for their
accomplishments as innovators of the highest calibre, and whose
technologies will have a deep impact on business and society. To be
selected as a Technology Pioneer, a company must be involved in the
development of life-changing technology innovation and have the
potential for long-term impact on business and society. In addition,
it must demonstrate visionary leadership and show all the signs of
being a long-standing market leader - and its technology must be
proven commercially.

"We are very honoured to be awarded the title of Technology Pioneer
2009," said Gerd Zettlmeissl, CEO Intercell AG. "Intercell has indeed
applied a pioneering spirit to focus its strength in immunology and
biotechnology for the development of novel vaccines for the benefit
of people across the globe," added Gerd Zettlmeissl.

Intercell AG is the first company in Austria to be awarded the title
of Technology Pioneer by the WEF since the program started 10 years
ago. The entire list of Technology Pioneers, together with their
