World!Market

Welt!Markt offers Styrian companies targeted financial support in their initial steps into the international market. The program promotes, among other things, trade fair appearances abroad, market development, and participation in international architectural competitions. In particular, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), architectural firms, and engineering consultants benefit from a direct grant that makes a significant contribution to covering the incurred costs. The funding aims to reduce barriers to international market entry and create sustainable competitive advantages for the Styrian economy.

To receive funding approval, the company must prove its headquarters are in Styria and demonstrate corresponding internationalization activities or participation in international architectural competitions. Since applications can be submitted continuously, Welt!Markt enables flexible planning of entrepreneurial expansion projects. The processing is carried out in close cooperation with Department 12 of the Styrian Provincial Government and the Styrian Business Promotion Agency, which jointly ensure legally compliant handling. With a budget of 0.25 million euros, the funding volume is specifically aimed at SMEs that want to make their expertise internationally visible and build long-term networks. Welt!Markt helps position Styria as an internationally competitive business location and offers companies valuable initial support for the global market.
