The initiative, announced at a press conference by State Secretary Alexander Pröll (ÖVP) and Mayor's Association President Johannes Pressl, seeks to unify existing data stored in local 'data bunkers' and create standardized interfaces for sharing information. The project includes funding of €8 million from the federal budget and aims to establish a communal marketplace for software and AI tools tailored to municipal needs such as maintenance management, personnel administration, and water meter systems.

This effort is part of a broader package approved by the reform partnership two weeks ago.
