[Open call] Sharing is caring !

In 2025, BavAR[t] was selected to take part in the hashtag#Vienna Startup Package.
BavAR[t] was created as a cultural mediation platform leveraging augmented reality and immersive technologies to develop new forms of access to art, culture, and heritage, in close collaboration with cultural institutions, territories, and public stakeholders.

The Vienna Startup Package offered a high-quality, well-structured framework to assess Vienna as a strategic ecosystem for international development. The program stands out for its strong public support, efficient onboarding, and its ability to connect selected companies with key institutional and ecosystem actors across the hashtag#DACH region. 🌍

As a company operating at the intersection of culture, technology, and immersive mediation, this initiative enabled us to gain valuable insights into how Vienna supports innovation-driven projects with international ambitions, while fostering meaningful exchanges with influential public and private stakeholders.

For startups and scale-ups exploring expansion opportunities in Central Europe, the Vienna Startup Package provides a clear, pragmatic, and credible entry point into the local ecosystem.

📅 Applications for the next cohort are open until February 20th, 2026.
We would be happy to exchange with founders or teams exploring similar paths.
