Vienna Startup Package 2026
Your Gateway to Europe’s Innovation Hub
Each year, the Vienna Startup Package gives up to 15 international startups the opportunity to explore Vienna as a market and launchpad into the DACH region. This exclusive multi-phase hybrid program connects you with an international cohort of founders, helps you discover new business opportunities, and introduces you to key players in Vienna’s startup ecosystem.
Vienna has evolved into a dynamic hub for innovation — offering a strategic location in Europe, a vibrant entrepreneurial community, and a strong network of support across public and private sectors. It's the ideal base for scaling your business and expanding internationally.
Apply if you:
- Have a scalable business model with proven traction
