Career paths: Innovative strength meets digital expertise

Company founders are an indispensable part of a functioning economic system. In Austria, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) form the backbone of the economy with a share of 99.6% and create two thirds of all jobs (KMU Forschung Austria, 2022).

Our graduates bring interdisciplinary expertise, innovative strength and a solution-orientated way of thinking. The digital business world is open to them: they found successful start-ups, promote innovation in established companies or advise international corporations.
