Alongside the above categories for startups and companies, the ‘Enabler Ecosystem’ category is considered to include companies and organisations which support and promote the FinTech ecosystem in Austria.
The FinTech Landscape Austria differentiates between startups and established companies. Based on the AWS startup definition, we have used the novelty of technology or business model and the founding period (i.e. no longer than 5 years) as criteria to distinguish startups. Out of 155 FinTechs in total, 38 can be classified as startup.This showcases the diversity and dynamics of the FinTech sector in Austria.
Around 80% of these FinTech companies are based in Vienna, making the Austrian capital the centre for FinTech innovation in Austria.
