The Austrian Business Agency, known as ABA, is a non-profit organization operating under the Republic of Austria to promote the country as a business, work, and film location. It provides free advisory and support services to international companies, skilled professionals, and film producers considering Austria for investment, employment, or production activities. The agency acts as a central point of contact connecting foreign organizations and individuals with information on regulatory, funding, and logistical matters in Austria.

ABA addresses the practical challenges international companies and individuals face when entering the Austrian market, such as navigating labor and tax regulations, securing funding, and finding suitable locations. It works by offering consultations, data and market insights, relocation assistance, and networking support tailored to each area of activity. The agency positions itself as a single access point that reduces the complexity of establishing a presence in Austria.

Its services are organized into three areas. Invest in Austria assists companies and startups with business location decisions, company formation, and expansion projects. Work in Austria helps employers recruit international skilled workers and supports those workers with residence permits and relocation. Film in Austria functions as the national film commission, supporting international productions with location scouting, funding guidance, and filming permits. ABA serves international businesses, skilled professionals, and film producers seeking to operate in Austria.
