Austria places second in the June 2026 EDRIX at 7.52, 0.12 points behind Germany — the closest contender in the leadership tier. Austria is the only EU27 country to score a perfect 10.0 on Public Sector Health (every official domain in the sample EU-hosted) combined with the second-best private-sector rating (0.62 raw — only Czech Republic and Slovakia are higher). The pillar holding Austria back is developer density (3.02), middle of the pack on a per-capita basis.

Strengths

  • Perfect Public Sector Healthwien.gv.at, the Federal President and the Federal Chancellery all hosted on EU infrastructure (10.0 / 10.0).
  • Top-tier private-sector hosting.at raw rating 0.62, with 46% of scanned .at domains running on Austrian infrastructure (the highest in-country hosting rate in the EU).
  • Strong Sovereign Browser share — 20.66% Firefox + Opera, comfortably above the EU27 mean.

Weaknesses

  • Developer density is moderate — at 3.02 per-capita index, Austria's GitHub developer pool is mid-tier, well behind Netherlands (5.59), Estonia (5.14), and Cyprus (4.72).
  • Linux desktop share at 4.91% — above the EU27 mean but trailing Finland's 9.81% and Germany's 6.09%; this is the slowest-moving lever for Austria.

Outlook

Austria posted the largest 8-month EDRIX gain in the EU27 (+0.10 from Sept 2025's corrected baseline) — driven by Linux adoption growing from 3.75% to 4.91%. If grassroots adoption continues to track that trajectory, Austria could overtake Germany within one or two editions. Continued public-sector hosting discipline keeps the foundation solid.

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.
