[Open call] Sharing is caring !

In 2025, BavAR[t] was selected to participate in the #Vienna Startup Package.
BavAR[t] is a cultural mediation platform that leverages augmented reality and immersive technologies to create new ways of accessing art, culture, and heritage, in close collaboration with cultural institutions, territories, and public stakeholders.

The Vienna Startup Package offered a structured and high-quality framework to evaluate Vienna as a strategic ecosystem for international growth. 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 #DACH region 🌍.

Operating at the intersection of culture, technology, and immersive mediation, this initiative gave us 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 connect with founders or teams exploring similar paths.
