innoscripta Expands in Austria, Secures Over EUR 1 Million in Orders

innoscripta SE, a German provider of software solutions for research and development (R&D) management, is making significant strides in the Austrian market. The company announced that its dedicated team, established this year to focus on Austria's R&D tax credit, has already acquired more than 30 Austrian companies as customers and built an order backlog exceeding EUR 1 million from concrete customer projects. This expansion underscores the growing demand for digital tools to navigate complex R&D funding landscapes.

Austria's R&D tax credit, in place since 2002, offers a 14% tax credit on qualifying R&D expenditure. In 2024, Austrian companies applied for a total funding volume of EUR 1.4 billion, a figure that surpasses the approximately EUR 1.2 billion paid out under Germany's R&D tax allowance in 2025, despite Austria's significantly smaller market size. This highlights the substantial opportunity for businesses and service providers in the Austrian R&D ecosystem.

Sebastian Schwertlein, COO of innoscripta SE, commented on the rapid market success: "Our swift 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."

innoscripta's expansion into Austria is part of its broader international growth strategy, following market entries in France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The company has had an office in Vienna since 2021, which previously served primarily to attract talent for its German operations. Now, that office is playing a key role in serving the Austrian market directly.

The company's flagship product, Clusterix, is a scalable software platform designed to help companies organize and manage their R&D activities. By using Clusterix, businesses can efficiently manage innovation projects, digitize internal processes, and make their R&D efforts transparent and scalable. This is particularly valuable for companies seeking to claim R&D tax credits, as the platform provides the necessary documentation and structure to substantiate claims.

The implications of innoscripta's expansion are significant for the Austrian business landscape. For companies, the availability of a specialized platform like Clusterix can streamline the process of applying for R&D tax credits, potentially increasing their funding success. For the broader industry, it signals a growing trend towards digitalization in R&D management, which could enhance overall innovation efficiency in the region.

Moreover, the success in Austria demonstrates the viability of software-supported R&D tax credit management across different markets. With the Austrian market proving to be lucrative, other companies may follow suit, leading to increased competition and innovation in this niche. The move also reinforces Austria's position as a competitive location for R&D, supported by attractive fiscal incentives.

As innoscripta continues to expand internationally, its achievements in Austria serve as a testament to the importance of adapting to local market conditions while leveraging scalable technology solutions. The company's ability to quickly gain traction in a new market with a relatively short sales cycle indicates a strong product-market fit and a clear need among businesses for efficient R&D management tools.
