The region
The Villach district lies at the crossroads of three cultures, and is a crucial source of economic momentum within the Alpe-Adria region. This southern Alpine region is characterised by dynamic economic growth, innovative power and an extremely high quality of life. Ecconomy
According to recent economic research, Villach is one of the most dynamic growth areas within the entire EU. Villach has earned itself a high ranking in terms of both economic growth and population growth in both Austria and the EU as a whole thanks to an above-average productivity level, the quality of the available manpower, the high technological standard of the resident enterprises and an innovative economic structure.
Villach has been able to establish itself as centre for microelectronics and electronics and as a high-tech hub in the Alpe-Adria region thanks, among other things, to its [micro]electonic cluster. Attracting companies and research centres active in the areas of microelectronics and microsystems, geomatics, telecommunications and information technology is a prime goal. Systematic investments in innovation, training and further education and quality of life form the cornerstones of Villach’s dynamic economic policy. Leading companies & Sysergies
Villach is an important centre for (micro)electronics, semiconductor technology and geomatics. Leading companies such as Infineon (chip development and production) and SEZ (semiconductor equipment – supplies used in the manufacture of semiconductors) are indicative of the region’s innovative potential which is helping the local supply industry to experience a lasting boom.
Centres of expertise such as KAI (Kompetenzzentrum für Automobil- und Industrieelektronik GmbH) and CTR (Carinthian Tech Research AG) undertake high level research and development in the field. The region, which is always open to the arrival of new companies, also provides its corporate partners with a communication and information platform for technology-oriented companies designed to maximise strengths and exploit synergies via networking and collaboration. Villach isn’t just a dynamic centre for quality leisure time during the carnival and “Kirchtag” summer festival. The city offers a wealth of leisure time activities for all ages in a variety of different areas, the whole year round!
