This initiative emphasizes the cooperation with federal states and sports associations in order to strengthen Austria's role as a host country. In addition, financial resources are defined and the development of sustainable sports infrastructures is promoted. The effects on the development of sports and the chances of success of Austrian athletes are also the focus.

The event should not only promote enthusiasm for sport, but also emphasize positive economic effects and contribute to an active, healthy population. Such events strengthen the basis for future major sports events in Austria. The Sport Austria Finals are therefore a central part of this strategy that focuses not only on sport, but also on social interaction.
