Breaking the €1 million mark with go-international!

A strong presence in international markets often begins with the right funding impetus—and that is exactly what the go-international funding programme provides. In the current funding period, known as “Internationalisation Offensive VIII” (IO VIII), 554 funding applications have already been approved—equivalent to around 20 funding approvals per month.

More than €1.054 million has already been paid out to Styrian companies within 2 years—a strong signal of the region’s international momentum.

When it comes to targeted export funding, ICS is the central point of contact in Styria. The two ICS funding advisors Marion Kikinger and Christina Ulrich support domestic companies with sound advice, a clear strategy and many years of experience.

“The fact that we have already been able to pay out more than €1 million to Styrian companies in the first half of the funding period shows how effective our funding advisory services are—and how strategically our businesses use this support for their international success,” emphasises Marion Kikinger, ICS funding expert.
