Austria's roughly 360,000 companies are recorded in the court-run Firmenbuch and searchable free through JustizOnline — a Mittelstand economy of small and family firms with a large tourism and services base. This page is a live view of the public sources AtlasForgeX reads for Austria and the buying signals it detects.
Industries. Machinery and industrial supply, tourism and hospitality, and B2B services lead.
Regions. Vienna dominates, with Upper Austria (Linz industry), Styria (Graz) and Tyrol (tourism) following.
The legal source of truth for Austria is Firmenbuch. It records every legally trading company — identifier, status, address and often officers and filings — which is why it is the most complete and current starting point for prospecting. See the full register directory.
Aggregators like Apollo and ZoomInfo fill their warehouses from contributory networks, purchased data and scraping, a model that over-represents firms maintaining a strong English-language footprint online. A Tyrolean tourism supplier is in the Firmenbuch and on its German-language site, but thin in a US-weighted database.
| Segment | Share of firms | Online-footprint coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Large + mid | ~2% | Good — usually covered |
| Small (10–49) | ~8% | Variable — partial |
| Micro (1–9) | ~90% | Weak — under-represented |
Austrian companies — overwhelmingly micro and Mittelstand firms — are likely under-represented in online-footprint databases. A structure-based estimate, not a figure measured from any database.
Austria's legally binding company record is the Firmenbuch, the commercial register run by the courts and searchable free of charge through the JustizOnline portal. Each registered entity carries a Firmenbuchnummer in the form "FN 123456a" — a sequential number plus a check letter — returned alongside the legal form, status, address and, frequently, officers and filings. The register holds on the order of 400,000 companies, and because notaries and courts maintain it the data is unusually clean and current; the WKO Firmen A-Z directory of the Federal Economic Chamber adds contact details the Firmenbuch itself does not publish.
Austria's economy is overwhelmingly a Mittelstand of small and family firms — well above 99% are SMEs — clustered in Vienna, Upper Austria around Linz, Styria around Graz and the Tyrolean tourism belt. That profile is poorly served by Apollo and ZoomInfo, which favour an English-language web presence: a German-only industrial supplier or alpine hospitality operator is fully in the Firmenbuch yet thin in a US-weighted warehouse. AtlasForgeX reads these Austrian sources directly.
