Digital content from Vienna

Over the past few years, a lively scene of independent developers and designers creating creative digital content of high quality has formed in Vienna. With the production grant Content Vienna, creative professionals in Vienna are supported in the development of outstanding media content - both monetarily and through accompanying networking and service offers. Talents and innovations at the interface of the creative industries and technology are promoted and the media location is strengthened in terms of international competition. Content Vienna follows on from the Content Award (2009-2016).

Vienna's digital scene is recognised internationally and has repeatedly received prestigious awards, such as the Apple Design Award. This award was given to the games ELOH, Frost, Blek and Old Man's Journey, which were funded by the Vienna Business Agency.
