Municipality of Schwechat to build up a communal Information Society with the following aims:
- Integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as a means of supporting every area of life in which it seems possible and worthwhile: education and training, work and economy, leisure, public administration, health and care facilities, to name but a few examples.
- The establishment of an internationally recognised High-Tech Location Schwechat in the field of ICT focussing on eHealthcare / eHomecare.
- Development and testing of innovative ICT systems on location – with emphasis on eHealthcare / eHomecare.
- Improving the numbers of ICT firms settling in Schwechat, improved stimulation for the establishment of business as well as targeted growth support for ready established ICT firms, coupled to strengthened internationalisation.
- Creation of new, well paid jobs.
- Influx of people.
- Improved education and training of the Schwechat population.
- The integration of otherwise disadvantaged people (such as the elderly and those with disabilities).
