Funding of Innovation Projects and Qualification Measures

Support for Innovation Projects and Qualification Measures assists Viennese companies in creating secure and high-quality jobs through targeted innovation and qualification projects. Funding is provided for personnel expenses as well as costs for training and further education, including external consulting. Innovative projects range from the development of new products or services to the optimization of operational processes. Qualification measures include, for example, completing vocational qualifications, job-related language courses, and seminars for trainers. Thanks to the continuously open application process, companies can submit project ideas at any time and respond flexibly to changing requirements.

All companies headquartered in Vienna that submit a formal funding application are eligible to participate. As a grant, this program covers personnel, training, and consulting costs, thereby making a significant contribution to strengthening Vienna as a business location. To apply, an application form, declaration of commitment, and a detailed innovation concept must be submitted. The funding amount is based on the submitted expenses and is paid out as a direct grant. By combining innovation support and employee qualification, not only can the professional prospects of Viennese employees be improved, but the competitiveness of companies can also be sustainably enhanced.
