DIGITAL STARTER 2023
Secure funding now and get started digitally with syreta!
The digitalization initiative “DIGITAL STARTER” from the state of Upper Austria and the Upper Austrian Chamber of Commerce is moving to the next round.
With the help of funding opportunities, Upper Austrian companies should be supported in implementing forward-looking business digitalization solutions and thereby expanding their competitiveness.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING?
Provided that the companies themselves do not offer digitalization services or IT solutions, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) based in Upper Austria and active members of WKOÖ have been able to submit their applications for the new digital funding since March 15, 2023.
WHAT IS FUNDED?
As in the previous year, the funding package is divided into two sub-areas. In the area "DigiPROJEKT," the conception and implementation of a digitalization project are funded. The additional funding "DigiBONUS" can be applied for if the "DigiPROJEKT" focuses on the areas of "Cyber-Security" or "Sustainability."
HOW IS IT FUNDED?
Small and medium-sized enterprises that have been promised funding receive it in the form of a non-repayable grant, which is transferred directly to the bank account they have specified, upon completion of the project.
The grants in detail
Basic Funding “DigiPROJECT”:
A prerequisite for the funding is that the project costs of the venture amount to at least € 5,000 net. The funding level is set at 40% of the total costs and a maximum of € 4,000. SMEs can apply for funding for the conception and/or realization of projects with the following focuses:
Additional funding "DigiBONUS":
In addition to a "DigiPROJECT," companies can also choose a focus in the form of a "DigiBONUS." In this case as well, a maximum of 40% of the costs are covered. For the "Cyber-Security Bonus," that would be up to €5,000, and in the area of "Sustainability," a maximum of €1,000. If both areas are covered, the focus setting can apply for an additional maximum of €5,000 in funding.
Specifically, the following services and topics are funded in the two bonus programs:
By combining a "DigiPROJEKT" with the two focus areas of the additional funding "DigiBONUS", you have the unique opportunity to increase your funding amount to a total maximum of €10,000.
