Vienna Connect
Through Vienna Connect, the International Offices, on behalf of the City of Vienna, are launching a flexible, dynamic initiative to position Vienna internationally as a hub for innovation and business. Viennese experts contribute their expertise where relevant discussions are taking place – at international conferences, within strategic networks, and through direct exchanges with partner cities. The initiative is designed as a platform: open to all topics, dialogue-oriented, and adaptable. In this way, Vienna generates momentum, deepens existing partnerships, and builds new connections.
