departure offers four funding programs that are tailor-made to the different requirements of the applicants both as regards contents and from an economic point of view.
departure_classic and departure_focus are classic project funding programs addressing established entrepreneurs or founders of enterprises.
departure_experts is tailor-made for existing companies requiring profound expert know-how for the implementation of a specific project. The project, however, has to focus on economic growth.
departure_pioneer addresses young entrepreneurs and all those who have established a company not longer than six months prior to the date of submission.
Basically, a company may receive funding in the scope of several departure programs; the maximum funding amount per company must, however, not exceed 200,000 euros over a period of three years.
It is important to emphasize that departure is not an art funding institution, but supports the integration of cultural/creative output into the economic life of Vienna and Austria. The quality of a project’s content is of particular importance, it has to reflect international trends and developments, and it has to be internationally competitive. It is furthermore indispensable that the project topic is dealt with professionally.
What is not eligible for funding are investment costs, serial mass production, operating costs, costs arising in the scope of a project carried out by third parties as well as consulting in the scope of the submission of a project for funding.
Applicants are provided with information on the individual programs; appointments are available each Wednesday by prior arrangement. The projects have to be submitted online.
