Technopoles are platforms for know-how transfer, knowledge dissemination and promotion of regional and international cooperation. Their objective is to create technology-oriented economic areas to strengthen the economics of special regions. The Technopole Programme of Lower Austria started in 2004 and is managed by the Business Agency of Lower Austria. Between 2015 and 2020, the funding allocated was EUR 10 millions. The aim of the Technopole Programme was to position Lower Austria as a high-tech center in Europe and to strenghten the competitiveness of Lower Austrian companies. In 2012, the Technopol was generating about 260 jobs - more recent impact figures are not available. Clusters can benefit from incentives generated by the Technopoles to settle and develop their activities.
