We are a consortium of non-profit research and technology organizations, universities, innovation accelerators, crowd platform providers and digital fabrication labs (Fablabs) within Austria’s digital innovation ecosystem. We combine our expertise to support and advance the digital transformation of organizations, with a focus on tourism, sports, leisure, mobility, well-being, and the public sector.
Through a coordinated and complementary consortium – spanning from ideation and analysis to prototyping and financing – we accelerate innovation and strengthen organizations’ ability to implement impactful solutions.
Through the Digital Europe Programme, the EU has initiated a European network of around 200 European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs). These hubs provide capabilities in cutting-edge digital technologies and support their practical implementation. Three of these hubs are based in Austria, each focusing on topics of high relevance to their respective regions.
The funding, which benefits SMEs and public organizations, is financed 50% through national funding from the Ministry for Economic Affairs, Energy and Tourism and 50% through the European Commission’s Digital Europe Programme. The administration of national funding is handled by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG).
