The activities of the Vienna Business District South aim to actively shape the development of the business areas in Vienna, to make them more attractive and to ensure that their development is tailored to the requirements of business developments. Therefore, VBD South acts in cooperation with the project partners Vienna Chamber of Commerce, Vienna Business Agency and the district planning and zoning department as an interface between the companies in the business areas of the 10th, 12th, 14th and 23rd districts and the district policy. The Vienna Business District management acts in the south of Vienna as a central hub for cooperation strengthening, information and consulting services as well as innovation development. In addition, the entrepreneurial use of resource-saving technologies, such as the installation of photovoltaic systems, is promoted and supported. For this cause, the Vienna Business District South connects companies and finds synergies.
