Smart City Vienna

In the areas of quality of life, infrastructure, and innovation, Smart City Vienna is considered one of the most successful cities in the world. In order to ensure this status for its inhabitants in the future, the city is faced with many challenges.

Vienna will reach the two million mark within the next 15 years. The resulting increase in energy requirements, affordable and suitable housing, and the need for reliable transport concepts calls for intelligent, sustainable, and opportunity-oriented solutions. The "Smart City" initiative therefore constantly pursues the objective of ensuring Vienna's ecological, economic, and social effectiveness and its subsequent improvement.

The organisation

The Vienna Business Agency was founded in 1982 as the Vienna Economic Development Fund (Wirtschaftsförderungsfonds) by the City of Vienna, the Vienna Chamber of Commerce, the UniCredit Bank Austria AG (formerly the Zentralsparkasse) as well as the Erste Bank der Österreichischen Sparkassen AG (formerly the Erste Österreichische Sparkasse).
