Government Conference in Leogang: Focus on reform partnership!

Leogang, Österreich - On June 5, 2025, the governors of Austria gather in Leogang (Pinzgau) for the semi -annual conference, which takes place under the chairmanship of Wilfried Haslauer (ÖVP), governor of Salzburg. A central goal of this event is to initiate a reform process that combines the federal government, countries, cities and municipalities and is intended to increase the efficiency of the existing system.

The conference, which takes place in the Hotel Krallerhof, is visited by high-ranking political representatives, including Federal Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP), Vice Chancellor Andreas Babler (SPÖ), Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger (Neos) and Community Association President Johannes Pressl. This meeting not only serves to exchange ideas, but should also lay the foundation for a reform partnership that focuses on administrative considerations, reduction in bureaucracy and the acceleration of authorities.

future reforms in focus

Despite the pressing topics, the conference does not expect any specific measures. Rather, it should serve as a starting signal for a comprehensive reform pact. Wilfried Haslauer emphasizes the urgency of a partnership -based approach to cope with the challenges in the administration and promote the proximity to the citizens. The digital transformation of public administration will also be an essential aspect. To do this, new technologies, including artificial intelligence, are to be used.

The conference begins at 9:00 a.m. with advice, the results of which will be announced at 12:30 p.m. in a press conference. This conference is of particular importance for Haslauer because it lasts as a host for the last time. At the beginning of July he handed over his office to Karoline Edtstadler.

hurdle transparency and reform will

The importance of these reforms is undisputed, but political and economic resistance often make the implementation of necessary changes difficult. Studies, such as those of the WIFO, show that reform steps often stop and only take place hesitantly. However, a reform -friendly government could gain political approval by bundling complementary reform projects.

For future reform culture in Austria, it is crucial that actors are involved in the process in politics and bureaucracy. Only through the creation of consensus -building institutions can the acceptance and credibility of reform policy be strengthened. So it remains to be seen how this conference can pave the way for a more efficient, citizen -friendly administration.
