The shell of the TZ2, the expansion to the Vienna Business Agency’s Technology Centre in Seestadt is complete. More than 90,000 boxes of Sachertorte could fit inside the 5,600m² of the new unit. The spaces will be available for production companies from June 2019. Yesterday, on 17 January 2019, builders celebrated the topping-out ceremony of the new location for production machines, high-tech facilities and co-working spaces, only six months after ground-breaking.
More spaces for production in the city
150 people currently work in the Technology Centre. The expansion is set to introduce just as many new jobs.

The building is an ideal location for start-ups and companies working in the Internet of Things, Industry 4.0 and smart production.
