Austria’s capital is often thought of just for its rich cultural history, but it is also a vital economic hub in Central Europe. It often ranks as the most livable city in the world by indexes by the Economist and Mercer, which is a testament to factors such as its ease of mobility, infrastructure, political stability, and progress. Beyond its strong education system, Vienna is a hub for research and development with a strong emphasis on innovation. The city supports startups and tech companies through various incubators, funding programs, and collaborative networks.  

While the region’s economy has a strong service focus, it also hosts a strong scene for electronics, machinery, and chemical production. It is well connected with public transport, an international airport, railway networks, motorways, and the Port of Vienna, one of the largest and most modern inland ports in Europe. It handles a substantial volume of cargo, including containers, bulk goods, and vehicles.
