The 2025 digital report is being published for the first time in a new, exclusively digital format in the "digital showcase" on the House of Digitalization website. It impressively demonstrates the diverse ways in which digitalization is already being implemented in Lower Austria – from innovative applications in the state administration and initiatives in municipalities and regions to pioneering projects in business and science.
Examples such as a research project on effective, youth-friendly prevention strategies against extremist content on social media, the "Nature in the Garden" chatbot, and an EU project in the field of data spaces clearly illustrate that digitalization has arrived in people's everyday lives. It brings new challenges – but above all, great opportunities for innovation, competitiveness, and our high quality of life.
My thanks go to everyone who, through their commitment, contributes to advancing the digital landscape of Lower Austria. Together, we are creating the foundation for a successful and vibrant future.
Johanna Mikl-Leitner
Governor of Lower Austria
