The past year brought settlements of 224 international companies to Vienna.
1,682 Jobs
In the new arrivals of 2025, companies from Germany, Hungary, and Italy were particularly well represented. According to the Business Agency, the top sectors included IT and telecommunications, software, as well as trade and business-related services. In the IT sector alone, 60 companies came to Vienna. The cryptocurrency exchange "Bybit EU," founded in Singapore, was mentioned as an example.
In total, 1,682 jobs were created by the new companies last year, a significant increase compared to 2024. The technology sector is partly responsible for this. However, there are also companies in other economic sectors that have been particularly active here. As a spokeswoman for the Business Agency explained to APA, a new hotel and the planned musical theater in the Prater, for example, have hired numerous employees.
Record from 2019
The number of settlements itself is below the previous peak. According to the spokeswoman, this was recorded in 2019. At that time, 266 companies established a branch in Vienna. The figures from the pre- year have not yet been reached again. However, it was emphasized that the numbers have stabilized at a high level.
"Vienna impressively demonstrates how attractive our location is for international companies," also emphasized Economic City Councillor Barbara Novak. The strong increase in jobs proves that the strategy is working. Particularly pleasing is the dynamism in the technology sectors. "With projects like the Life Science Center Vienna and the Quantum Technology Center Vienna, we are consistently expanding our position as an international technology metropolis," she expressed confidently.
