The Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) is the national funding agency for industrial research and development in Austria. Research, development and innovation are central drivers for economic, technological and social development. Businesses that undertake research grow faster, achieve higher export rates and create more employment than those who don’t. The FFG applies a wide variety of measures to support structural change in Austria. FFG funding schemes play an important role in generating new knowledge, developing new products and services, and enhancing competitiveness in the global marketplace. They make it easier, or possible, to finance research and innovation projects, and help to absorb the risks involved in research. The FFG supports international networking and encourages careers in science. FFG can help you tap into your innovative potential and exploit new market opportunities by putting new knowledge to work.
