From Helsinki to Vienna: A strategic partnership that brought our R&D to Austria
"Establishing a European base for a US climate tech company is a massive leap, and securing the right funding is critical. We first met the qubitec team in Helsinki back in 2024. From the very beginning, they shared our vision of bringing our satellite-based climate intelligence R&D to Austria.
Our first attempt at the Vienna Business Agency grant didn't pan out, the jury wanted to see a stronger causal chain for our climate impact. Most consultants would have walked away, but qubitec didn't stop there. They dug in, gathered every piece of feedback, and initiated a deep, intensive collaboration with us. They understood that to win, both sides needed to truly comprehend the other: they had to master our complex technology, and we had to understand the nuances of the Austrian funding landscape.
The Result
A successful, highly-funded application with the Vienna Planet Fund on our second try. qubitec's persistence and strategic guidance enabled us to officially establish our Austrian subsidiary and build out our long-term R&D center in Vienna. If you want a consultancy that fights for your vision and deeply understands your business, qubitec is the partner you need."
