Funding Program KMU.DIGITAL
The KMU.DIGITAL funding program aims to systematically unlock and leverage the significant opportunities presented by digitalization for Austrian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In light of the accelerating pace of technological change—particularly through ongoing automation and the digital transformation of production and service sectors—demands on SMEs are increasing with regard to digital competencies, innovation capacity, and adaptability.
Against this backdrop, KMU.DIGITAL provides targeted incentives to support SMEs in the design, implementation, and market launch of digital projects. The program aims to make a substantial contribution to strengthening the digital competitiveness of the Austrian economy, while also accelerating the transformation toward a sustainable, digitalized, and renewable energy-based economic structure.
The Program Offers Two Funding Streams:
- KMU.DIGITAL 4.0 – Continuation of the proven support for digital projects
- KMU.DIGITAL 4.0 & GREEN – Targeted support for digitalization projects that also contribute to environmental sustainability
In particular, the new GREEN stream promotes digital initiatives that support the green transformation. The focus is on digital solutions in key areas such as energy efficiency, resource conservation, circular economy, and sustainable production.
