Your path to investment

The investment process is structured in two phases. In the first step, you express your interest. Wiener Wachstum GmbH, a joint venture between the Vienna Business Agency and Raiffeisenlandesbank Niederösterreich-Wien, reviews your documents and then recommends selected companies for investment based on clear criteria. You then submit your complete set of documents to us online.

Step 1

Expression of Interest & Registration

To secure investment, you must first express your interest online. To do so, please register on our online platform. Experts from the Vienna Business Agency and Raiffeisenlandesbank Niederösterreich-Wien will carry out a suitability assessment of your project. If everything is in order, we will invite you to further discussions and the next stages of the assessment process.

Step 2

Due Diligence Check

Once all the documentation required for a comprehensive due diligence review is in place and a basic agreement has been reached on the investment terms and conditions, we will assess the possibility of investing in your company. If the assessment is positive, we will work with you to draw up the investment agreements, and you will be able to get your growth plans off the ground.
