The "mental closeness" of Austria to its neighbours is an important advantage for establishing new business contacts.
Ericsson Austria
Austria ranks fourth in the latest globalization index compiled by the Swiss Economic Institute of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH). This means Austria is one of the most globalized countries in the world. The Netherlands is at the top of the ranking, followed by Ireland and Belgium. Accordingly, the first four spots remain unchanged from the previous year, but all four countries are so close to each other that the differences are hardly perceptible, according to the ETH. Switzerland moved up two notches to fifth place, ahead of Singapore, which dropped one notch.
In recent years Austria has turned into a hot spot for life sciences. An increasing number of life sciences companies locate their business operations in the Alpine Republic due to its favorable underlying conditions. These firms strengthen the business location through investments, innovations and by creating jobs.
