Promotion and financing

One of the key tasks of the Vienna Business Agency is the handling of funding programmes for businesses in Vienna. Business investments by Viennese companies are supported by the resources of the city of Vienna. The monetary funding programmes act as initiators for the modernisation of Viennese businesses and help to increase the innovative strength and competitiveness of the Viennese economy in general.

Each funding programme has a different focal point and its own directive, which contains all the necessary information. The funding programmes of the Vienna Business Agency focus primarily on start-up ventures, as well as on small and medium-sized businesses.

The economy, art and culture departure GmbH, a subsidiary company of the Vienna Business Agency, offers special funding programmes for businesses in the creative economy. All further information can found at www.departure.at.

The ZIT centre for innovation and Technology, likewise a subsidiary of the Vienna Business Agency, offers tailor-made funding programmes for the technology and research field. Within the framework of research promotion, large-scale enterprises may also submit their projects. All information may be found at www.zit.co.at.

The Viennese Business Agency also participates in the Viennese growth fund. This venture capital fund participates in growth-oriented small and medium-sized businesses from Vienna, in order to support their further expansion and increase in value.
