NEOS – The New Austria and Liberal Forum (German: NEOS – Das Neue Österreich und Liberales Forum) is a liberal[2] political party in Austria. It was founded as NEOS – The New Austria in 2012. In 2014, NEOS merged with Liberal Forum and adopted its current name.
Since 2018, Beate Meinl-Reisinger has been NEOS's chairwoman and was parliamentary leader until 2025, with Yannick Shetty taking over the position. It won 8.3% in the 2019 legislative election and 9.1% in the 2024 Austrian legislative election. NEOS is a member of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, and its two MEPs sit with the Renew Europe group in the European Parliament.
NEOS is represented in six of Austria's nine Landtage, and has been a coalition partner in the Vienna state and city government together with the SPÖ since 2020, and from 2018 to 2023 together with the ÖVP and the Greens in the state government in Salzburg. NEOS is part of the Stocker government which has governed Austria since 3 March 2025 under a coalition with the ÖVP and the SPÖ.
