Digitalisation with funding

Many digitalisation projects in SMEs are eligible for funding. We find the right programme, prepare the application and deliver the project documentation required.

The overview

More funding
than you might think

The Austrian federal government, the regions and the EU support companies that invest in software and digitalisation. The programmes change constantly and have their own deadlines and requirements.

We keep track for you, check what fits your project and take care of the application and the complete documentation. That leaves more budget for the project itself.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is my project eligible for funding?

That depends on the project, the size of your company and the current state of the programmes. We check it together in the initial call, with no obligation.

Do I have to apply before the project starts?

For most programmes, yes. That is why we raise funding right at the start, before any costs arise.

What does support with the application cost?

Nothing extra. Support with the funding application is included in the project.

How much funding is available?

That varies a lot between programmes, from part of the consulting costs to a large share of the project costs. We clarify the current rates for your project.

What types of funding are there?

The most common are non-repayable grants. There are also interest subsidies for loans, funding for consulting services, and guarantees that secure loans.

Who provides the funding?

Nationwide, funding mainly comes from aws (Austria Wirtschaftsservice), FFG (the Austrian Research Promotion Agency) and KPC (Kommunalkredit Public Consulting), and there are EU programmes too. On top of that come the federal states and the chambers of commerce, in Upper Austria for example the state government (Land OÖ) and Business Upper Austria. Startups can also turn to seed funds and incubators such as tech2b.

How good are the chances of getting funding?

There is never a guarantee. The chances rise considerably when the project fits the programme well and the application is carefully prepared. That is exactly what we check before submitting.
