Economy ##Schew we all: nö s new campaign for strong businesses

In the morning of October 18, 2024, Wolfgang Ecker, President of the Lower Austria Chamber of Commerce (WKNÖ), and Johannes Schedlbauer, director of the chamber, presented the new campaign "Economy #wir!" before. This initiative aims to emphasize the importance of a stable and strong economy and at the same time draw attention to the urgent measures that are necessary to improve the economic framework in Lower Austria.

The domestic economy is currently exposed to increasing pressure. In this context, Johannes Schedlbauer explained: "Austria stays in the recession and falls behind." Economic development in Austria is stagnating until 2025, while the euro area is expected to grow. This problem illustrates the need to strengthen the economic basis and to make it easier for companies to work.

economy under pressure

According to Wolfgang Ecker, it is crucial to bring the achievements of entrepreneurs into talking more. These contribute significantly to the creation of jobs and to secure the quality of life in the regions. "Every day they take responsibility for their employees and their families as well as for society," said Ecker and demanded relief from the companies in order to remain competitive.

The campaign addresses specific claims that range from the reduction of bureaucratic hurdles to a reduction in non -wage costs. Among other things, Ecker called for the following measures: less bureaucracy through the simplification of reporting obligations, tax -free overtime and an increase in the net wages. "It cannot be that our companies spend 10 hours a week for bureaucracy," said Ecker. "We need more time for real work again." This can also be seen in the concern that only 53 cents of every euro that a company exposes for workers actually arrive at the employee.

consciousness formation and communication

The campaign also aims to raise awareness of the economic challenges and communicate what is necessary for growth and prosperity. Schedlbauer added: "A strong economy and a positive image increase the attractiveness of Lower Austria as a location." In addition, the recognition of entrepreneurial services promotes the motivation and willingness to invest of the companies and can inspire young people to become an entrepreneurial

In order to spread these messages, extensive advertising measures are planned, including out-of-home advertising, media cooperation in the print and digital area as well as radio and cinema spots. The entrepreneur testimonials, such as Sarah Sator, Isabella Wögrath and Alexander Graf, underline that the demands come directly from entrepreneurial practice and thus underline the relevance of the campaign.
