Not with this traditional socialist/conservative government keeping everything it's always been.

And let's not hope the FPÖ takes over! They've fucked up good back when they had a chance. With their corruption and strong association with the industrial's association (Industriellenvereinigung), they are more interested in not helping start-ups than any other party.

In case you missed it things are already changing. It would be nice if Neos would get support but they will not largely because the population values stability and conservatism. Politics can't change that.

Nothing at all has changed. The new chancellor is just trying a new spin to attract younger voters again and part of it is positioning Austria somehow as an attractive country for startups (while at the same time discussing a "machine tax" to please marxist voters). I don't know if paid articles in various magazines are part of the campaign.
