430 projects for business relocations in Lower Austria are currently in the pipeline at the business agency Ecoplus. This brings new jobs.

After the tough years of crisis, optimism is spreading. Also at Ecoplus, the state's business agency. After all, 39 new business relocations and expansions have already been completed in the first half of the year.

 Hundreds of new jobs
"As a result, more than 340 jobs have been created or secured," emphasizes Johanna Mikl-Leitner, Governor of the province, who has declared the economic department to be the "boss's business" in the provincial government. A further 430 companies have already expressed an interest in locating or expanding in Lower Austria and these projects are currently being processed.

If the companies only implement a fraction of their plans, hundreds of new jobs will be created in Lower Austria over the course of the year.

Speaking of business parks: there are 16 of them in Lower Austria, 1060 companies already use their infrastructure and offer 24,660 jobs there. And the number is growing every year.
