Digitalisation consulting for SMEs.
KMU.DIGITAL & GREEN certified · around 30 consultations since 2024 · funding check for all nine provinces
Digitalisation and green transformation are essential for small and medium-sized businesses. Until its budget was exhausted, Austria's KMU.DIGITAL programme funded potential analyses at 80% and strategy consulting at 50%. As a certified consultant (Certified Digital Consultant, consulting field business models & processes) I have delivered around 30 funded KMU.DIGITAL consultations since 2024 alone, from trade businesses through retail to tourism companies. The same method, from status check through strategy to the documented report, remains available as regular consulting.
As at 21 September 2026: According to kmudigital.at, the KMU.DIGITAL funding programme will not be continued from 2027, and the 4.0 budget is exhausted. New funded consultations are therefore no longer possible. The consulting itself remains available unchanged, and the funding overview for all nine provinces shows which provincial schemes still accept applications for digitalisation projects.

The modules (funded until 2026)
Status & Potential Analysis
A structured assessment: where does your business stand on digitalisation and sustainability, and where are the biggest levers? Funded at 80% of consulting costs (max. €400).
Digital Strategy Consulting
In-depth consulting in the certified field of business models & processes: digital workflows and value creation, tool and CRM landscape, AI in processes, with a documented consulting report. Funded at 50% (max. €1,000).
GREEN Strategy Consulting
The green funding track: digitalisation projects with a sustainability contribution, energy efficiency, circular economy, resource savings, mobility, procurement. Same funding rates.
Path to Implementation Funding
The funded consulting is generally the prerequisite for the 30% implementation grant (max. €6,000). I set up your project so it stays eligible.
Funding Administration Included
Application, deadlines, consulting report, settlement: I handle the bureaucracy. You focus on your business.
Data Protection Built In
Every digitalisation recommendation is GDPR-sound, as a certified data protection manager I don't create problems that get expensive later.
Funding conditions of the KMU.DIGITAL 4.0 round. The budget is exhausted and the programme will not be continued from 2027 (kmudigital.at, checked 21 September 2026).
Which province funds your project?
Two questions, one answer from the source. The check reads the manually verified entries of the funding overview and shows what the funding body of your province states for your kind of project, with the verification date. Nothing is stored or transmitted. The federal KMU.DIGITAL programme will not be continued from 2027, so the provinces are what remains.
