Vibrant Neighbourhoods

With the Vibrant Neighbourhoods (Lebendiges Grätzl) funding, the Vienna Business Agency supports companies whose investments strengthen neighbourhood businesses while creating lasting value for Vienna’s urban areas. Do you run a street-level business or would you like to revitalise vacant ground-floor premises? Do you offer a diverse local range of products and services for the everyday needs of Viennese residents in your neighbourhood?
The City of Vienna supports businesses that help activate the ground-floor zone through targeted measures and contribute to Vienna’s high quality of life. Get a personal consultation on your project.

What is funded?

We fund measures to expand the diversity of local products and services, enhance quality of life in the neighbourhood, as well as implement digitalisation projects. Use the Vibrant Neighbourhoods Funding for investments in your shop premises or your business, for example:

  • Structural and refurbishment measures
  • Purchase of technical equipment and machinery
  • External services, including for digitalisation
  • Upgrading and improving the attractiveness of the shop premises
