Austrian Startup Monitor: How startups tick Where do most startups get launched? How are they financed? What is the composition of the startup ecosystem in Austria? These questions and many more will be answered in the Austrian Startup Monitor 2019. "The Austrian Startup Monitor helps to collect and continuously analyse information on the development of Austrian startups," says AIT project manager Karl-Heinz Leitner. To this end, startups are identified and questioned in annual online surveys on the Austrian startup ecosystem and their perspectives. The results of the surveys are the central foundation for the preparation of the Austrian Startup Monitor 2018 and 2019. On 20 February 2020, the current study was presented at the Federal Ministry for Digital and Economic Affairs, with Federal Minister Margarete SchrambĂśck opening the event.
