Strong together
High costs, bureaucracy and reluctant investment are weighing on the economy, but the entrepreneurial spirit in Lower Austria remains strong. In 2024, the number of businesses rose to 116,000. The Lower Austrian Chamber of Commerce provides comprehensive support services to secure jobs and prosperity.
The topics that often come up in my conversations with entrepreneurs are explosive: high wage and energy costs, increasing bureaucracy and people are buying, building and investing less. These issues will still be with us in 2025 and will not go away by themselves.
The current situation affects us all, because the economy is all of us - we entrepreneurs together with our employees and society as a whole. The economy is a mood and it needs to improve again. The solutions are obvious: non-wage labor costs must be lowered, tax incentives for full-time and overtime work must be created and bureaucracy must be drastically reduced. Because we secure jobs and quality of life in the regions. We take responsibility for our employees, their families and society every day. A strong economy is crucial for peace and prosperity.
It is therefore all the more pleasing that the entrepreneurial spirit in Lower Austria remains unbroken. Around 116,000 businesses were active in 2024 - 1,600 more than in the previous year. That proves it: Lower Austria is a strong location and a land of entrepreneurs. Companies can count on the Lower Austrian Chamber of Commerce as a committed representative of their interests as well as on its comprehensive range of services, which are used intensively.
Last year, there were over 257,000 service contacts with our members. The most frequent topics were labor and social law, followed by business and trade law as well as business management, financing and funding. In addition, our 23 regional and branch offices recorded 112,000 contacts. They have once again proven themselves as reliable local contacts - the local service providers for our entrepreneurs!
