Advantage: Austria!
Austria is internationally renowned for world-class production houses, skilled
crews, and attractive locations as well as its cutting edge VFX and post-production
facilities and high-standard infrastructure. With an impressive increase of
productions in recent years, the country in the very heart of Europe has proven to
be a top destination for shooting films, series, docs, and other non-fiction formats.
But this is just the beginning!
Today, the Austrian AV industry finds itself at an exciting turning point. By January
1st, 2023, a new incentive model will be introduced that substantially increases the
competitiveness and attractiveness of Austria as a business partner for the
international film and media sector and allows those working in the local industry
to benefit from the sector’s enormous global growth. The model provides for an
uncapped, non-repayable subsidy of up to 35 % of the expenses incurred in Austria
for AV productions, 5 % of which is a bonus for green producing. What’s more,
Vienna’s new film & TV studios “HQ7 Studios” will be up and running by Q4 2023 -
further boosting Austria’s attractiveness for production companies from all over the
world.

The global focus and the conference options make this event
unique
CIMIx 2023 invites you to explore international insights, as well as opportunities
and successful business cases. The network of ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA and its partners
bring together Austrian and foreign companies and experts, which will make CIMIx
a strong platform to boost the internationalization of the creative industries in
general and especially the AV industry.
