Research, innovation and digitalisation are the decisive factors for Austria’s economic future. The mission of the Federal Ministry for Digital and Economic Affairs is to promote Austria as a prominent technological business location, actively supporting opportunities for digitalisation both in industry and society while encouraging entrepreneurship.
It is of crucial importance to drive research, development and innovation in order to create the optimal framework for Austrian businesses to thrive. Moreover, digitalisation and its wide-ranging economic and societal implications must be anticipated, a process in which the ministry plays an active role.
