In addition, more than 390 international companies have set up their regional headquarters in Vienna, with management responsibility for purchasing decisions encompassing the entire Central European region.
Logistics? Of course!
- Austria is located in the heart of Europe. Its geographical advantage is obvious. But there is even more e.g., one of the best road networks in the world, intermodal goods transport, a first-rate rail infrastructure and shipping links (Rhine-Main-Danube). The country also has excellent ties to the NAPA ports of Trieste, Venice, Ravenna, Koper and Rijeka – the shortest distance between Western Europe and Asia.
- Whether as a North-South and East-West hub or headquarters for EU-wide business activities, Austria is an ideal location for a company thanks to its unique geographical position in Europe.

Austria
as an industrial nation
Many people think of holiday trips when someone talks about Austria. However, the country is primarily an industrial nation. 30% of its GDP comes from this sector, whereas tourism contributes 15%.
Many Austrian industrial companies such as Andritz AG, voestalpine, Rosenbauer, Miba, Lenzing and Doppelmayr are in the top ranks or even global market leaders. Austria is extremely export-oriented, and one of the top three foreign investors in Southeast and Eastern Europe.
