The Vienna Startup Package by the Vienna Business Agency attracts international startups to Vienna by providing support and resources that help them grow in the city’s dynamic ecosystem.
The programme focuses on scalable business models with proven success in home markets, expansion into German-speaking regions, go-to-market strategy development, connection to Vienna’s startup ecosystem, international cohort-based learning, business coaching, stakeholder engagement, access to events including ViennaUP, and travel support.
Successful startups gain access to the local startup ecosystem, receive dedicated business coaching on strategic next steps, participate in peer-to-peer learning with global entrepreneurs, attend exclusive gatherings and the ViennaUP festival, and benefit from a travel budget of up to EUR 3,000.
The Vienna Startup Package offers up to 15 international startups each year the opportunity to participate in a multi-phased hybrid programme designed to open doors to new business opportunities in Vienna and beyond. Participants join an international cohort of founders and engage directly with key stakeholders across the city’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Vienna is widely recognised not only for its cultural heritage but also for its growing reputation as an innovative and dynamic business hub. Its strategic location in Europe, supportive networks, and thriving startup community make it an attractive base for founders seeking sustainable international growth.
The programme is suited to startups with scalable business models that have already demonstrated success in their home markets and are ready to expand into German-speaking regions. Participants receive support in refining their go-to-market strategies while building meaningful connections within Vienna’s startup scene.
