The state of Lower Austria and the Lower Austria Chamber of Commerce continue their successful initiative. As part of the pulse program, Lower Austrian companies can again apply for the funding “Digi4wirtschaft” again – this time with a special focus on data optimization and the use of artificial intelligence (AI).
For five years, the “Digi4wirtschaft” impulse program has been supporting companies to advance digitization – a success story that is now being continued for another chapter.
Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner: “We have been supporting our small and medium-sized companies for years with our funding Digi4wirtschaft, this year we focus on artificial intelligence for the first time. Because the topic of AI brings many opportunities for our companies to become even more efficient and faster. Among other things, the AI can be used for production performance, supply chains, energy efficiency to personalized customer services, which opens up enormous development and business opportunities for our companies in Lower Austria and we want to enable them with this funding. ” Around 160 projects can be supported with this special rail this year. Therefore, the country and Chamber of Commerce request the entrepreneurs to submit their applications quickly.
With the “Digi4wirtschaft” impulse program, the state of Lower Austria and the Lower Austria Chamber of Commerce accompany the companies together on their way to the future. So far, more than 2,000 projects with an investment volume of more than 80 million euros have been supported.
The Lower Austria Chamber of Commerce is also financially involved. WKNÖ President Wolfgang Ecker: “It is important to us to continue to support Digi4wirtschaft – and that from full conviction. Because we know that this money arrives directly from our entrepreneurs and triggers further investments. ”
A total of 2025 is four million euros, half of the Lower Austria and WKNÖ, each with funding. There are also other building blocks as part of the Digi4wirtschaft pulse program. This is based on three central columns:
“Digikickstart”: offers free workshops that present best practice examples, show future prospects and sensitize companies to digital transformation.
“Dig subscription”: promotes individual consulting services to develop tailor -made digitization strategies with up to 3,300 euros.
“Digiinvestitondata” (support call): is the financial support for concrete investments for efficient use of AI and data. The grant here is up to 50 percent of the costs and a maximum of 25,000 euros.
With Digi4wirtschaft, Lower Austria continues to focus on digital innovation and economic securing the future.
