The State of Vorarlberg on the Internet

Many ask us, why one of the smallest federal states in Austria of all places can have such remarkable economic success: we are convinced that this is due to the innovative business thinking linked with the highly skilled specialists and the outstanding productivity that exits here.

The tax rates that exist here are the lowest in the EU. That is the fertile base on which Vorarlberg companies have success and are international winners on the world arena.

Vorarlberg, the most western federal state in Austria, is an area of breathtaking natural beauty, ranging from the high mountainous areas, well know for their winter sports areas such as Arlberg and Montafon, to the Rhine valley and Lake Constance. Work here where others go on holiday!

The fact that only 19 percent of the countries borders lie inland make the outer orientation of the country remarkably large. "The Laendle" – as it is affectionately known by its inhabitants – is open to the neighbouring countries of Germany, Switzerland and Liechtenstein and even Italy and France are not that far away.

Vorarlberg lies in the centre of 70 million consumers in the heart of the area with the highest income pro capita. It also is a gateway between the east and west and the north and south of Europe.
