RIZ – Regional Innovation & Start-Up Center for Lower Austria

For more than 20 years, the RIZ (from the German "Regional-Innovationszentrum") has guided newly founded companies and first-time entrepreneurs through the challenging early phases from their offices in Wiener Neustadt.

As a subsidiary of ecoplus and the province of Lower Austria, the RIZ supports entrepreneurs across all of Lower Austria in its centers and other regional advisory offices.

Every entrepreneur receives personal assistance and support from one of the RIZ's staff, whether in the analysis of the potential of a business idea, in the creation of a business concept or when it comes to funding programs. In addition, the RIZ provides assistance in securing company locations, training and continuing education, and establishing contact to important network and financing partners. What makes the offering unique is the availability of necessary infrastructure in addition to the service component.

Offices and production facilities are available for rent at reasonable rates in seven RIZ innovation and start-up centers.
