Funding

Website funding in Austria: the honest picture

Many businesses ask us about funding. Here you can see what is currently available, what is not any more and when an application is worthwhile. No promises, with links to the responsible bodies.

In short Last checked: 29 October 2026

  • KMU.DIGITAL, the best-known programme for websites and web shops, is exhausted and will not continue from 2027.
  • The federal states still fund digitalisation, but a website or web shop on its own is usually not enough.
  • That is why there is currently hardly any suitable funding for our packages from €590. For larger projects an application can be worthwhile.

When it is worth it

Projects with a chance of funding

Funding usually goes to projects that change how a business works. A website can then be part of the project.

Online shop with integration

A shop that passes orders directly to inventory, warehouse or accounting changes processes and is therefore more likely to be eligible than a shop on its own.

Booking and appointments

Online booking that replaces phone calls and paperwork and is connected to a calendar or till system.

Enquiries and orders

Enquiries, quotes and orders handled digitally instead of by email and paper, for example in trades or transport.

Frequently asked questions

All about funding

All information without guarantee, last checked 29 October 2026. We are not a funding body and cannot promise approval.

Is there still funding for a new website in 2026?

Hardly for a plain website. KMU.DIGITAL is exhausted, and the state programmes in Vienna, Lower Austria and Upper Austria exclude a website as a stand-alone measure. Larger projects that digitalise business processes are more likely to be eligible.

Will KMU.DIGITAL be relaunched?

According to the programme website, KMU.DIGITAL will not continue from 2027. As soon as there is a new programme, we will add it here.

Can I apply for funding retrospectively?

As a rule, no. For almost all programmes, the application must be submitted before you place an order. That is why you first get a quote from us and only commission us afterwards.

Do you help with the funding application?

We provide the quote, the project description and later all invoices. You submit the application yourself. The Chamber of Commerce offers free funding advice in every federal state.

Where can I find all current funding programmes?

The Chamber of Commerce's funding database lists federal and state programmes. Conditions change constantly, so always check the guidelines of the respective body before applying.
