Best Environment Tech Companies in Austria
The 125 best Environment Tech companies in Austria in 2026, ranked by funding and momentum. Funding, investors, founders, valuation, tech stack and live signals. Top: neoom.
Austria's Environment Tech scene has 125 companies tracked, $273M in total disclosed funding, and no unicorns yet — which tells you something about where this market sits right now. The global environment tech market was valued at roughly $552.1B in 2021 and is forecast to reach $690.3B by 2026, a 4.6% CAGR according to MarketsandMarkets, driven by stringent government regulations and rising pressure on carbon footprints. We rank the best Environment Tech companies in Austria here by disclosed equity funding and recent momentum — and neoom leads the pack hard, with $95M raised, followed by ecop at $23M and Tset at $14M.
So what's moving the needle this quarter? App-layer signals are one indicator: median install growth across environmental and renewables apps is running at roughly +20% YoY across 161 tracked apps, and hot themes include EV battery technology, next-generation EV platforms, and EV drive system innovations. Coverage is rising, institutional backers like the EIC Fund and Austria Wirtschaftsservice are active, and the structured legal frameworks emerging around environment tech are starting to matter for compliance-sensitive founders. If you're mapping the Austrian environment tech opportunity, the funding is still concentrated but the momentum is genuinely building.
