innoscripta SE (ISIN: DE000A40QVM8) is accelerating its growth in Austria, a market it has served since 2021 but now targets with a dedicated sales team. The company announced that it has already acquired more than 30 Austrian customers and built an order backlog exceeding EUR 1 million from concrete projects. This success underscores the effectiveness of its software-centric approach in a country where the R&D tax credit has been established for over two decades.
Austria's R&D tax credit, available since 2002, offers a 14% tax credit on qualifying research and development expenditures. In 2024, Austrian companies applied for a total funding volume of EUR 1.4 billion, surpassing the approximately EUR 1.2 billion paid out under Germany's R&D tax allowance in 2025. This indicates a robust market for R&D incentives, which innoscripta is poised to serve with its Clusterix platform.
Sebastian Schwertlein, COO of innoscripta SE, commented, "Our rapid market success in Austria is further evidence of the competitiveness of our software-centric approach with the innovative Clusterix platform. We are particularly pleased to have attracted a broad range of new customers across different sectors, including industry and manufacturing, software and IT, logistics, and retail. This demonstrates that our approach works across industries."
The company's expansion in Austria is part of a broader international strategy, following entries into France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The Vienna office, initially used for talent acquisition, now hosts a dedicated team focused on the Austrian R&D tax credit market. This local presence is crucial for understanding regional nuances and building client relationships.
innoscripta SE offers Clusterix, a scalable software platform designed to structure and manage research and development activities. Companies leverage Clusterix to efficiently oversee innovation projects, digitize internal processes, and enhance transparency and scalability of their R&D efforts. The platform's cross-industry appeal is evidenced by its adoption in Austria's manufacturing, IT, logistics, and retail sectors.
The significance of this announcement lies in the validation of innoscripta's business model in a mature market. Austria's R&D incentive scheme, despite the country's smaller size, has a comparable funding volume to Germany's, making it a lucrative opportunity. By establishing a strong foothold there, innoscripta not only diversifies its revenue streams but also demonstrates the transferability of its technology to different regulatory environments.
