With optimism through the crisis: A look at the Bärnbach companies

On Tuesday, the director of the Chamber of Commerce, Karl-Heinz DernoSheg, went on a tour of the Voitsberg district, starting at the "Zuckermühle" in Bärnbach. He was accompanied by Rupert Hofer, the state guild master of the artisans and his deputy, Silvia Weiß. The regional office chairman Peter Sükar took the lead together with the regional office manager Lukas Kalcher. During the tour, the group visited several local companies that are managed with commitment and optimism.

Despite the positive conversations with the entrepreneurs, the prospects for many companies remained damped. The economic situation gives reason to worry. Dernoscheg and his team perceived the challenges and problems that entrepreneurs feel in everyday life. "The entrepreneurs are full of ideas and initiative, but they hinder current framework conditions," noted Dernoscheg during his visits.

criticism of the political framework conditions

A central topic during the visits was the criticism of the political framework that causes the gap between entrepreneurs and bureaucracy. The difficult planning situation and long approval processes represent great hurdles. Entrepreneurs demand a simplified bureaucracy and faster processes in order to realize their ideas and implement innovations.

The discussions with the local company owners showed that they are not only optimistic, but also have solutions to improve the business situation. This indicates that entrepreneurs are willing to take responsibility and to actively participate in an improvement in the framework conditions. The shoulder view of the Chamber of Commerce on the existing resources and potential is considered an important measure to better understand the regional conditions and offer targeted support.

"The entrepreneurs in our region have done a lot, despite the conditions that are often anything but beneficial. It is time to draw attention to these challenges and to initiate the necessary changes," said Hofer, who sees the visit as an opportunity to draw attention to the concerns of the entrepreneurs and to initiate solutions.

outlook for future steps

The tour not only contributed to receiving direct feedback from the entrepreneurs, but also provided valuable insights into the actual conditions in Voitsberg. Dernoscheg plans to draw attention to the challenges and wishes that came up in the conversations. The experience gained will flow into the future work of the Chamber of Commerce.

The importance of such visits is not only the visualization of the existing problems, but also in the creation of a dialogue between politics and the companies on site. A more active involvement of the entrepreneurs in the political decision -making processes could help improve the economic framework.
