accent - incubator of Lower Austria
We are a highly motivated and interdisciplinary team with diverse academic backgrounds. We are technology enthusiasts, but see our main role in the development and support of a product and business strategy.
Our start-ups - the business champions of the Vienna region
Every start-up, especially from the scientific environment, is unique. It therefore needs an individual and tailored support approach. The accent support is therefore always individually adapted to the respective start-up project. Details can be found in the service overview.
Our partner network
accent has been part of the exclusive CERN BIC network since 2014, has been cooperating with the Senate of Economy for 10 years and start-ups with a focus on the aerospace sector can access the accent as a local partner of the ESA BIC. Over the past 10 years, the accent has grown closely with academic and scientific institutions in the Vienna region. Many start-ups of the accent have started as spin-offs of these institutions.
