The "House of Digitalization" is the lighthouse of the Lower Austrian digitalization strategy. It is an important interface for digital transformation and is currently used as an interactive platform with personalized services and an automatic proposal system to network Lower Austrian companies with research and educational institutions, as well as being a meeting point for interested citizens in the field of digitalization.
The interactive platform www.virtuelleshaus.at cordially invites visitors to tour the virtual house.
The House of Digitalization is being co-financed by ...

The development takes place in a three-stage process
In the coming years, this house will evolve from a virtual international competence network house to the physically built House of Digitalization in Tulln by 2022.
Step 1. Hubs & networks
As a first step, so called digital hubs were developed (St. Pölten, Krems, Wieselburg, Klosterneuburg, Tulln and Wiener Neustadt), these were closely linked together, as well as connected with other existing networks. Representatives from business, administration as well as research and apprenticeships are bundled in a cross-institutional and Lower Austria-wide competence network. International connections of these hubs should ensure that relevant developments are recognised on time.
Step 2. The virtual house (since January 2019)
Currently, the "Virtual House" of digitalization is currently being implemented together with all our Lower Austrian partners. The virtual house has been supporting SMEs in Lower Austria with their digital transformation through numerous bespoke services. Users of the digital platform have the option to use the services, from the very
beginning with digiPEDIA through to the concrete implementation of digital projects (digiGALERIE and digiLAB).
Step 3. House of Digitalization in Tulln
The building will be constructed in Tulln. We are currently busy with the preparatory work. We have drafted various ideas, which will be offered at our site in Tulln e.g. Showroom, center for start-ups: incubator, coworking space as well as for example events and networking meetings etc. …
