What ecoplus Digital GmbH does

ecoplus Digital GmbH is a private limited company (GmbH) incorporated under Austrian law and wholly owned by the Province of Lower Austria, operating as a special-purpose vehicle within the ecoplus group — the Province's business development agency. The company is the institutional operator of the House of Digitalization (Haus der Digitalisierung), a purpose-built physical exhibition and event venue in Tulln an der Donau featuring a 300+ m² LED media facade, multimedia exhibition halls, a flexibly designed Showroom, an Innovation Lounge, an Escape Room, a biotechnology laboratory, and a digital technologies lab.

The company's core offering is an annually changing multimedia exhibition on digitalization topics (the 2023 inaugural 'Human + Machine', the 2024 'SMART DATA + YOU', and the current September 2025 installation 'IS DIGITAL THE SOLUTION – INNOVATIONS FOR OUR FUTURE'), complemented by a regular events and workshops program (Digitalks talks, roadshows on cybersecurity awareness, AI workshops built on n8n automation), the DGTL Summer Festival, a 360° virtual tour, a podcast (Virtuelle Blaupause, on Buzzsprout and Spotify), and an email newsletter. The company coordinates the EU-cofinanced Lower Austria Digitalisation Ecosystem, which aggregates a network of partners — including ecoplus, the Lower Austria Chamber of Commerce (WKNÖ), Digital Innovation Hub Ost, Fotec, IMC FH Krems, WIFI Lower Austria, XISTA, the University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten, and Josephinum Research — to deliver digitalization, AI, and cybersecurity support services to SMEs in Lower Austria, Vienna, and Burgenland. Corporate sponsors include Niederösterreichische Versicherung, HYPO Niederösterreich, EVN, Vienna Airport, ACP, and KYOCERA.

Revenue is structurally aligned to its public mandate rather than commercial scale. Primary funding comes from European Union EFRE co-financing and provincial government contributions channeled through the Lower Austria Digitalisation Ecosystem project, supplemented by event-venue rental of the Showroom and Innovation Lounge for corporate events and presentations, and by online ticketing for exhibition visits (described as generally free for visitors). The go-to-market combines an event-driven model (exhibitions, workshops, roadshows, the annual DGTL Summer Festival) with a community-led model routed through partner institutions serving as contact points for SMEs. The team is intentionally small — six employees — under managing directors Dipl.-Ing. Claus Zeppelzauer and Mag. Lukas Reutterer, reflecting the entity's role as a programmatic, publicly-backed operating company rather than a commercially scaled venture.
