The objective of economic policy is to guarantee fundamental quality conditions for businesses in Graz and improve them.

The main factors in this process are the Graz companies themselves and their immediate surroundings. These companies are supported by services. Their creative ideas and innovations are fostered by creating the appropriate conditions and by taking concrete measures. The foundation of new active companies in Graz is actively encouraged.

The economic policy "work in progress" is designed to consider developments, to provoke discussions and consists of:

Basic Quality
"to improve the general conditions for companies in Graz"

Creative Impulses
"to promote Graz as a business location by creative and innovative measures"

Developing Graz as a Business Location
"to assist existing companies and to gain new companies for Graz"

The Department of Economic and Tourism Development led by Mag. Andrea Keimel and her team is the place to go for Graz entrepreneurs in particular and is responsible for the implementation of individual projects within the defined frames of reference.
