WHY?

Mission / Vision

We actively contribute to the development of the digital assets market in Austria. Austria should take a leading role.

Our starting point was the FINTECH Advisory Board of the former federal government in 2018. What began as an initiative in 2018 will be further strengthened in the coming years – through the establishment of permanent structures and a strong organization. Austria needs such interfaces not only to promote technologies but also to make complex technical terms understandable and translatable.
