A safe haven
for global business
The presence of major players in Austria such as Boehringer Ingelheim, Henkel, Takeda and the BMW Group speaks for itself. Austria remains attractive as a location for international corporate headquarters and has maintained its position as a hub and ideal starting point for subsidiaries in Eastern and Western European countries, the US and Asia.
Austria, and Vienna in particular, is a top choice for international headquarters, irrespective of whether they are regional or divisional centres. More than 1,000 international companies exploit the perfect strategic location in the heart of Europe in order to drive their CEE activities forward. In particular, German companies tend to select their southern neighbour as the location for the seat of their international headquarters in a broad range of sectors. Production headquarters make up a large percentage, along with wholesale and retail headquarters. Numerous international headquarters carry out research and development in Austria, including Boehringer Ingelheim, Takeda and Siemens.
However, it is not only the geographical positioning in the middle of Europe that makes Austria so popular. A growing economy, stable conditions, business-friendly laws, a solid infrastructure, a superb quality of life all combine to make this country a top business location.
