The Austrian start-up ecosystem is undergoing an exciting phase of transformation: despite declining overall volumes, the number of financing rounds remains stable, international investors continue to show strong interest in the location, and innovative areas such as AI in particular are gaining massively in importance and attracting a record share of investments.
The potential is huge: with targeted investments in financing, talent development, and regulation, Austria could catch up with the most dynamic start-up locations in Europe by 2030. A strong start-up ecosystem is also an indispensable fuel for the development and future viability of Austria as a business location.
This makes it all the more important to support as many start-ups as possible during the crucial transition from the start-up to the growth phase: through consulting, networks, public attention, and ultimately investment rounds – in line with the motto “HÖHER HINAUS” (HIGHER UP).
The EY Scale-up Award is THE Austrian competition for start-up companies in the growth phase.
With its two-stage application process and combination of comprehensive benchmarking by experts using the EY Maturity Assessment and a live pitch presentation to a high-caliber jury of experts, the EY Scale-up Award is the “premier class” for growth companies. We are delighted to support the EY Scale-up Award as a partner.
The EY Scale-up Award has value and creates value, because award-winning start-ups benefit in several ways: they gain public visibility, an international seal of quality for “growth investment readiness” with the EY Scale-up Badge, benchmarking including recommendations for action through the EY Growth Maturity Assessment, consulting packages, a stage at the live event, and access to an exclusive community.
Do you want to “aim higher” and reach the next stage of your start-up's growth trajectory? Do you want to review and optimize your “growth readiness”? Do you have what it takes to be Austria's next scale-up?
Apply now for the EY Scale-up Award and qualify for the premier league for emerging companies in Austria!
