Burgenland reached, despite the international recession, the largest rate of economic growth in Austria with an increase of almost 6%. Decisive for this development were increased exports to Central and Eastern Europe. Progress in the sectors chemical industry, electrical/electronics and machine building were especially promising. The continued increases of industrial production, as well as the Austrian employment growth rates, bear witness to an expanding, dynamic region.

Burgenland employees are in demand. An educational system with highest Austrian standards constitutes the basis for the know-how of our employees. They are qualified, industrious and reliable. At present, many still commute to Vienna, due to a lack of suitable employment. In addition to the general high schools, the technical and vocational schools, and the higher-level business and technical schools, two technical colleges, encompassing the subjects of Economics and Engineering, were established in 1994. Burgenland - a business region offering high political stability and social peace that is exemplary the world over.
