Headquarters of the Federal Ministry in the building of the former Austro-Hungarian War Ministry at Stubenring 1
The Federal Ministry for Digitization and Business Location ( BMDW for short ) is the Federal Ministry of the Republic of Austria responsible for economic policy, trade and industry on the one hand and digitization on the other . It emerged from the Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy on January 8, 2018 , but has handed over the competencies and responsibilities for research and science to the Federal Ministry of Education . The Austrian Ministry of Economics was formed from a trade and trade ministry (at times also ministry of labor ), industry , energy and building ministries , with public works (at times also ministry of transport ), which are derived from the monarchy. With the Ministry of Labor, the Federal Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs and Consumer Protection , the Ministry of Technology, the Federal Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology, and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management, there are currently three other ministries in Austria for economic affairs that deal specifically with labor market policy to take care of research and development and agriculture, forestry and water management. The Austrian family ministry (with youth ) was created in 1983 by Fred Sinowatz (and at times also included women and consumer protection or was united with a social ministry ). With the restructuring of the ministry structure under Chancellor Fayman, the agendas of economic policy were merged with that of family policy , a classic core portfolio of a social ministry, but at the same time labor market policy , also a task of an economic ministry, was assigned to the social ministry, so that today there are two ministries dealing with social policy how to take care of business-related matters. This division is a response to the situation in the global financial and economic crisis since 2007 . The area of the Federal Ministry for Economy, Family and Youth currently covers the legal matter of approx. 110 federal laws, 625 ordinances and numerous announcements as well as bilateral and multilateral agreements, which are announced in the Federal Law Gazette for the Republic of Austria .
