Vienna takes over Messe Vienna: New chapter for Economics and Events 2025

After the subsidiary RX Austria & Germany announced in October 2023 that it would leave the Austrian market, the future of the Messe Vienna and the associated employees were uncertain. Again and again speculation came up how the traditional trade fair operation in Leopoldstadt would continue. Now there is finally clarity: The city of Vienna takes over the management of the fair from January 1, 2025.

The responsibility for trade fair operations lies from this date at WSE Wiener Loctorpro Development GmbH, which acts as part of the municipal Vienna Holding. This decision was announced on Monday in an official announcement by the WSE and marks a significant step for the city.

Takeover of all employees ensured

A central point of takeover is that all RX Austria & Germany employees can keep their positions. Since the announced processing at RX became known, uncertainty about the future of jobs in the industry has been great. City Councilor Peter Hanke confirmed the Ekonomic relevance of the Vienna trade fair: "The Messe Vienna is an important engine of our economy and contributes to international visibility. We are pleased to further expand Vienna's top position as a conference and congress destination."

The takeover strives for a seamless continuation of the company, so that no interruptions can be expected. In the coming weeks, the necessary permits and decisions should be obtained so that everything can be implemented according to schedule at the turn of the year. This should not only stabilize the fair itself, but also promote the Viennese economy as a whole.

As the offer offer will continue, it remains to be seen. Nevertheless, the decision is a positive sign for everyone involved, especially in the current economic situation. For the Viennese population and the entrepreneurs who rely on the fair as an important economic factor, this could mean a new chapter of development. These developments show that despite the uncertainties that RX has departed, both the city and the employees can benefit from the new regulation.

Overall, it can be seen again how important the Messe Vienna is for the economy and how much the city is interested in consolidating and expanding its reputation as an internationally recognized exhibition location. This decision will certainly make positive waves and could also have far -reaching effects on future events.
