| Vienna Meeting Fund 2021-2023 supports events in the Austrian capital |
|
Vienna is supporting organizers of (association) congresses and corporate events through the Vienna Meeting Fund 2021-2023. Set up by the City of Vienna, the 4 million euro fund is aimed at domestic and international organizers who are planning meetings to be held in Vienna before 31 December 2023. Applications are possible until three weeks before the starting date of the event.
(Association) congresses and corporate events are of central importance for Vienna’s tourism industry. Besides their key role as an economic asset and a moving force for driving the internationalization of the city, they are a trigger for local value creation. The Vienna Meeting Fund 2021-2023 was set up as a source of additional funding for organizers looking to host congresses and corporate events under the current circumstances. Funding is provided for costs incurred when actually organizing meetings and is specifically not intended as a source of compensation for any financial losses sustained.
