Abstract

2023 verzeichneten österreichische Unternehmen einen überdurchschnittlichen Anstieg der Ausgaben für neue Produkte und Dienstleistungen. Unternehmen, die bereits im Vorjahr ihre Innovationsausgaben erhöht hatten, behielten diesen Kurs überwiegend bei. Obwohl die Innovationsausgaben 2023 zulegten, führte nur etwa ein Fünftel der befragten Unternehmen neue Produkte oder Dienstleistungen ein. Seit der COVID-19-Krise ist ein genereller Rückgang der Innovationanstrengungen zu beobachten, vor allem in kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen. Ebenso ist die Finanzierung über Kredite, ein wichtiger Motor für die Einführung neuer Produkte, seit der Pandemie rückläufig. Jedes vierte Unternehmen meldete im Jahr 2023 Hindernisse bei der Kreditvergabe.
