Vinzenz Harrer takes stock: Farewell to the Weizer Chamber of Commerce
In a surprising turn of events, Vinzenz Harrer has announced that he will resign from his position as chairman of the Weizer Chamber of Commerce at the end of the year. Harrer, in this role since 2015 and previously chairman of the business association from 2004 to 2023, has already arranged his successor. The previous deputy, Bernhard Stranzl, who is also an entrepreneur in St. Margarethen an der Raab, will take over management.
In his statement, Harrer was critical of the Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Association. “The organizations have far too few rough edges,” he noted. His words indicate that he not only believes internal changes are necessary, but also calls for a fundamental reassessment of the structures and procedures in these institutions.
About the future of the Weizer economy
Handing over the chairmanship to Stranzl could bring new impetus to the Weizer economy. As managing director of Elektromaschinentechnik GmbH, Stranzl brings with him extensive experience from the industry. His entrepreneurial background could help the Chamber of Commerce develop new perspectives and strategies to better represent the needs of local companies.
Harrer's criticism could also be interpreted as a call for future leadership to take a more active role in the regional economy. This is particularly important at times when many companies are facing major challenges. The way the new leaders deal with these challenges could be crucial to the future success of Weiz's economy.
In addition, the question of how the strategies could develop further under Stranzl will be discussed. With a fresh look at the structures of the Chamber of Commerce and the goal of being a clear and strong voice for Weiz companies, the public perception of the institution could change significantly.
