City of Technology
High-quality digital solutions from Vienna have a worldwide reputation for fairness, transparency and security. The city's digital sector has embraced the rapid tech advancements of the last decades and is ready to harness emerging technologies. From artificial intelligence and big data to mobile technologies and quantum computing, Vienna is using the latest advancements in the industry to develop smart tech solutions. The prominent additive manufacturing scene has given rise to cutting-edge visual computing talent, too. Embracing the principle of digital humanism, the city works to ensure that developments are people-centred and contribute to the common good, such as in pursuit of a smart, climate-neutral city or advancements in cybersecurity.
Vienna is a thriving startup city and among the largest IT metropolises in Europe - topped only by London and Munich. With each new tech company choosing to make Vienna the seat of their operations, more and more tech jobs offer strong employment opportunities and consolidate the city’s status as a digital, innovation and tech capital in Europe.
