aws LISA - a focus programme
LISA – Life Science Austria has been bundling and supporting the international activities of Austria’s life sciences clusters since 2009, with the aim of positioning Austria as a leading life sciences hub.
LISA is operated by Austria Wirtschaftsservice GmbH on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs, Energy and Tourism. The program serves as an image multiplier on the international market, for example by positioning Austria at leading international trade fairs, through an English-language website, an online industry directory, and regular life sciences industry statistics.
LISA contributes to strong interregional cooperation at the international level and enhances Austria’s visibility as an attractive location. As a result, the global recognition of Austrian life sciences companies and research institutions is increased, and the life sciences sector is sustainably secured and strengthened as a key component of the national economy.
The cluster partners are: ecoplus, Human.technology Styria, Innovation Salzburg, LISAvienna, Medical Technology Cluster, and Standortagentur Tirol. LISA also acts as a hub for international cluster cooperation initiatives, including the MedTech Cluster Alliance D-A-CH.
Overall, LISA represents a sector comprising more than 1,170 life sciences companies and over 70,000 employees, generating annual revenues of approximately EUR 40 billion (source: Life Science Report 2024).
