Funding Styria: Find the Right Support

Funding in Styria can significantly accelerate your project – whether you are founding a company, developing an existing SME, or implementing a project in the education or social sector. The key is to find the right funding agency and the appropriate instrument, as in Austria (and thus also in Styria), access to grants, guarantees, or combined financing varies greatly depending on the objective, type of organization, and project phase.

Typical focus areas in Styria are innovation and research & development, digitalization, as well as sustainability and climate protection – ranging from process digitalization and new products to energy efficiency, renewable energies, or circular economy. In addition, investments, qualification, and location development play a central role. Funding opportunities come, among others, from the State of Styria and the SFG – Styrian Business Promotion Agency, supplemented by nationwide bodies such as aws, FFG, or climate- and environment-related funding via KPC. EU programs (e.g., ERDF/ESF+) as well as municipal funding can also be relevant depending on the call or guideline.

To avoid wasting time on unsuitable programs, a thorough funding check is worthwhile: Does your location (Styria) fit, is the applicant type correct, is the “project start” already an issue, and which impact indicators (e.g., CO₂ savings, employment, social impact) can you document? This is exactly where the Reflecta Funding Compass supports you: You find suitable funding faster, can prepare your information in a structured way, and receive step-by-step guidance during the application process.
