Vienna is increasing the funding for companies affected by the construction work for the planned extension of the U2 subway line and the construction of the U5.

Specifically, the economic agency is increasing the support for small businesses along the expansion route by around 50 percent. This was announced by the red-pink city government on Thursday.

Effective immediately, companies with fewer than 50 employees can receive up to 25,000 euros to cover their rental costs and for revenue-increasing measures. In addition, the funding rate for rental expenses has been increased from 50 to 60 percent. The support applies to all sectors.
