Narrative updated for the September 2026 edition.
Austria slips from first to third at 7.38, with a score almost unchanged since June (7.43): Germany and Finland moved past it. Austria keeps a perfect 10 on the public-sector pillar (all three official sites hosted, mailed and resolved in Austria) and the fourth-best private-sector score (9.06; the .at sample rates 0.58). Grassroots adoption is solid (6.77, 4th), with a 20.47% sovereign browser share, third in the EU. The pillar holding Austria back is developer density (3.06, 13th).
Strengths
- Public sector (perfect 10).
www.bundespraesident.at(ACONET),www.bundeskanzleramt.gv.atandwww.wien.gv.at(Magistrat der Stadt Wien) are fully EU-operated. - Private-sector hosting (9.06, 4th). 61% of 473 measured
.atdomains are EU-hosted, led by Hetzner, ACONET and T-Mobile Austria. - Sovereign browser share of 20.47%, third in the EU27.
Weaknesses
- Developer density (3.06, 13th).
- Email. Half of the measured
.atdomains route email through non-EU providers; Cloudflare (19%) leads the non-EU web hosts.
Outlook
The top three are within 0.21 point. Austria's private-sector pillar lost 0.19 this quarter; that pillar, renewed every quarter from the most-visited .at sites, will decide whether Austria regains first place.
Historical context
2020 baseline
In 2020, Austria was an "emerging" player with a solid strategic and security agenda but less-developed open-source software policies.
2024 progression
Austria has taken steps to embrace OSS, with the 2022 establishment of an open source working group and the 2023 Digital Austria Act. A key move is the collaboration with Germany on the OpenDesk initiative.
