Women's pioneers in the Alsergrund: Economic strength in the 9th district

In the Alsergrund, the image of the Viennese economy is shaped by a steadily growing group of entrepreneurs, whose influence and commitment are no longer an integral part of. In the ninth district alone, there are now 1,506 sole proprietorships, which corresponds to an increase of 8.3 percent since 2014. These figures make it clear that women play a key role in the local economy and bring in an important perspective. Margarete Kriz-Rüt-Kovits, the state chairwoman of women in the Vienna Business, emphasizes how much the entrepreneurs in the Alsergrund contribute to the diversity and strength of the city.

versatility of the industries

women in the Alsergrund are not only active in the craft, but also in stores, where 236 sole proprietorships represent a portrait of 36.5 percent. The area of tourism and leisure management already shows an almost balanced gender distribution with 42.4 percent. However, there is still potential for improvement in the transport and traffic sector with only 10.7 percent. Kriz-second co-kovits nevertheless has confidence in the existing entrepreneurs who also make a difference with their commitment.

404 entrepreneurs work in the information and consulting industry, which corresponds to a proportion of women of 33.4 percent. These figures make it clear that women are willing to get involved in innovative and future -oriented sectors and thus contribute to strengthening Vienna's economic landscape. The diversity of the industries in which women are active in the Alsergrund reflects the current dynamics and liveliness in this district.

tradition and innovation: Examples from practice

A particularly inspiring example is Gabriele Kornherr, who led the confectionery “Zum Sweet Eck” for 28 years and has now successfully handed over to the next generation. The new operators, Nicole Heinrich and Raphaela Mastella, both 42 years old, continue the company with fresh ideas and a contemporary approach. These make it clear that entrepreneurship in the Alsergrund is passed on across generations and that it is not only about the foundation, but also about sustainable operation.

Kriz-second-covits emphasizes that entrepreneurship in the northern part of Vienna includes both tradition and innovation. One of the growing challenges is to inspire the next generation and to promote entrepreneurship that has already achieved a lot in the past. The 54,000 members of women in the Vienna Business are an important part of this movement, because they bring a breath of fresh air and at the same time stability to the Viennese entrepreneurial landscape.

The role of women in business is more important today than ever. According to Kriz-Rz-Rede Kovits, it is estimated that 43 percent of all sole proprietorships in Vienna are founded by women. The variety of industries in which these entrepreneurs work, including retail, personal services, gastronomy and social affairs, is particularly remarkable. This extensive presence not only shows the economic influence that women have, but also the endeavor and the ability to take responsibility in every sector.

The commitment of women in Alsergrund and beyond is an essential basis for still dynamic growth in the Viennese economy. "No economic sector can afford to do without female expertise," emphasizes Kriz-Rz-Zwittkovits. It represents a growing movement of entrepreneurs whose performance and innovative strength are decisive in order to make Vienna a livable and flowering location.
