Stability and security
Reliability, satisfaction and efficiency: in Austria you benefit from a dependable legal system, political stability and a high level of social satisfaction.

Unmatched quality of life
Austria is an affluent, stable and prosperous nation with a long and eventful history. In addition to its dynamic and innovative economy, Austria is not only valued across the globe as a travel destination and a place synonymous with culture but as the adopted country of international skilled employees and companies.

In the heart of Europe
At the crossways of all important data and power lines and as a transport hub with a stable energy supply, Austria combines the highest business location quality for the benefit of companies with the best quality of life and affordability in international comparison. It is worth highlighting the disproportionately high level of green energies for which Austria stands out alongside the security of supply.
