The effects of the red-white-red fund of funds The red-white-red umbrella fund is not a state funding pot, but a market-based instrument. It mobilizes existing private capital and directs it into funds that invest in companies, thereby directly strengthening the region's capacity for innovation and growth.

The majority of investors surveyed see this as an effective solution to pool capital, diversify risks and promote professional investment structures.

However, the results of this study reveal a much more differentiated picture: Private investors not only pursue financial goals, but also make a relevant social contribution through their commitment, particularly for innovation, entrepreneurship, and Austria as a business location. While the expectation of return remains central, idealistic motives such as supporting founders or the joy of collaboration also play an important role for many investors. To the Investing Report 2024 Selection criteria for investments What do investors look for when selecting their investments? The accompanying graphic makes it clear: For the vast majority, the professional experience of the founding team, a viable business model with a clearly identifiable USP, and growth and internationalization potential are what matter most. Initial market success (traction) also plays a key role. Both groups pay particular attention to team quality and economic substance, with angels focusing more on growth potential and institutional investors on proven success. To the Investing Report 2024 Top topics 2025 With 81.9% and 81.7% approval ratings, respectively, both investor groups rate Artificial Intelligence & Big Data as the key future area. Cybersecurity & Defense follows closely behind, having gained significantly in relevance compared to previous years. Healthcare & MedTech ranks third among the top investment themes. This strong consensus among investor groups highlights the increasing consolidation of future technological themes: security, resilience, and AI-driven applications are clearly at the heart of strategic portfolios.
