More and more start-ups from Austria are taking the plunge into business, and their products and services have been attracting attention worldwide.
Austrian start-ups have a global footprint, with 74 % of them making at least part of their turnover abroad. So-called “Born Globals” have an international approach from the outset: thinking globally, acting globally – and growing globally.
ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA has awarded a 2025 Export Prize to 3 Austrian Born Globals.
Software and sensors can turn smartphones into measuring devices, and Senseven GmbH has developed a mobile inspection system for industrial facilities that can identify leaky valves quickly and easily; the sensor measures sound emissions like a stethoscope and the data are transmitted to a smartphone where they are interpreted with support from Artificial Intelligence. The inspection system can be used in a whole host of sectors, such as the chemistry, food or paper industries, or even in power stations.
Construction vehicles can be measuring equipment: Sodex Innovations GmbH fits construction vehicles with cameras and laser scanners, and the equipment collects data and surveys the terrain while diggers and other machinery are in operation. The data are processed and visualised in real time. Not only does this enable the progress of the project to be documented, the system also simplifies building site administration with functions such as site-monitoring and calculation of excavation volumes. The construction and mining industries are both set to benefit from this innovative measuring technology.
Writing contracts that are simple, efficient and transparent: fynk GmbH provides software for contract management and automation that helps in drafting, checking and finalising legal documents. Contracts can be filled with content dynamically and edited jointly, with all versions available for reference. An analytical tool helps avoid mistakes and ensures compliance guidelines are respected. The software generally simplifies complex processes while also providing the highest levels of transparency, monitoring and speed for a firm’s contracts department.
The Austrian start-up scene is extremely diverse, and many of these companies are developing software and IT solutions for a whole host of sectors.
