Meet the Market: Austria Skype Surgery

Organiser

One of the best parts of exporting is the chance to travel the world, growing your business while you're at it. Of course, visiting a market and meeting face to face with new contacts is one of the best ways to develop a successful business relationship - but we realise that this isn't always possible.

That's why we are working with our network of contacts based at British Embassies around the world arranging for them to visit the West Midlands, giving businesses the chance to meet commercial specialists on their doorstep at an event or via a 1:1 Skype meeting.

Find out if your product or service will sell in Austria - request a free 20-30 minute on-line chat with one of DIT’s Trade Advisers based at the British Embassy in Vienna...

These sessions are open to companies from the following sectors:

  • Defence and Security
  • Rail
  • Financial and Professional Services
  • Chemicals
  • Life Sciences

Why Austria?

Austria is considered an easy market for UK companies to do business in. If your product or service is successful in the UK, there’s a good chance you could be successful in Austria but as most companies there are in long-lasting supplier relationships, your product or service must have unique selling points (USPs) or advantages to have a strong chance of finding market share. Austria has the fourth highest per capita GDP in the EU and though a small country, over 48 million people living within a 250 mile radius of Vienna. The country is therefore an ideal starting point for access into central and eastern European markets.

DIT Austria is working to win government contracts for UK businesses, on accessing supply chains of leading Austrian manufacturers, and to find distributors in Austria for UK companies looking to do business in the country.

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Nuneaton Roof Truss,

Over the past few years, Armstrongs has built up a fantastic relationship with Gary Thyeson from the Growth Hub. His advice on grants and funding has been really valuable to both Armstrongs and some of our clients. His knowledge of local business support has been helpful in signposting us to relevant support agencies as required. We look forward to working with Laura Delahunty moving forwards.

MES Systems Limited,

I have had an excellent experience working with Laura from the Growth Hub, from day one, she was taking detailed attention to my concerns and ideas. She was able to put me in contact with different organisations and people to find out answers to my questions and help me to solve some inquiries I was having. I feel this support definitely had a positive impact in my plans. 

 

PALACIOS LTD,

It’s been a fantastic inaugural eight months for the TalentTech Recruitment team and, although the reality of setting up and running a company can be a somewhat daunting experience, we have been extremely grateful for the superb help, advice and guidance given to us along our journey by Gavin Barnett and the team at CW Growth Hub. Gavin’s introductions to both Warwick & Coventry Universities and his wider business network have been absolutely invaluable.

Exeter Analytical (UK) Limited,

Thank you for the comprehensive and professional guidance

Burbidge & Son Ltd,

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information.  It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers.  We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events.  When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
