Environmentally friendly mobility, broadband expansion, and digitalization of companies are the main areas Austria is investing in. To do that, the country is receiving €3.5 billion in grants from the European Commission. In its plan, Wien is investing over half of its budget in digital objectives and 59 percent in green ones – some investments overlap, as they contribute both to make the country more digital and greener at the same time. Particularly, the largest investment – about 900 million euros – is in faster internet connections, in an effort to make the Austrian economy more competitive.
