As a founding member of the BIE, Austria has a long-standing tradition of participating in Expos. Austria is convinced of the long-term benefits of Expo participation - strengthening political, economic and cultural relations with the host country and region, developing long-term partnerships, business opportunities and new investments, to name a few. Austria is recognised around the world as a country of art, culture and tradition with beautiful landscapes, intact nature, excellent hospitality and a high quality of life.
Through our participation in Expos, we aim to broaden this image by including additional, perhaps lesser-known aspects of Austria such as its innovative strength, ingenuity and creativity, outstanding research and business capacities, high-quality educational system and strong focus on sustainable development.
