SIME welcomes ZIT as one of the partners for SIME Vienna

SIME Vienna is brewing quite nicely, we are in the midst of getting some great speakers, cooking up the agenda to be in tune with the times as our landscape keeps continuously evolving. That said, ZIT, the technology promotion agency of the City of Vienna joins SIME as one of the partners for SIME Vienna.

When we spoke to ZIT about the city of Vienna, Dr. Claus Hofer, the CEO of ZIT wanted to be part of SIME to promote Vienna as a hot bed for new ideas, innovations and entrepreneurs. The short of the story is, ZIT offers support for innovative companies in the media space through funding and other strategic services to promote Austrian digital economy and the long of the story is below.

“For the last decade, media business has been under constant transformation – and it still is today. Those survive who are flexible enough to profit from these changes, who invent new business models, who innovate. As the City of Vienna’s Technology Agency ZIT offers support for these innovative media companies: through the development of the Vienna’s Media Quarter Marx, through monetary funding and through valuable services.

To me, SIME VIENNA seems like the ideal platform: both for successful Viennese companies, as well as international firms. I’m positive that meeting each other will be of additional value to all media players.” – Dr. Claus Hofer, CEO ZIT – The Technology Agency of the City of Vienna

We are very happy to have ZIT with us in this journey for our quest for knowledge and digital opportunities. In the past, we have worked with Barcelona Active and Stockholm City Council to promote the respective cities, and with SIME having a major share of audience being international (who isn’t these days huh?), there is a good win-win scenario as we see it.

Brewing the digital economy coming up April 28th. Are you part of the new world order?
