I am sure that Weiss will carry this responsibility with the utmost competence and care“, said Finance and Economics City Councilor Peter Hanke. “I am very much looking forward to working together and am firmly convinced that Weiss will have a decisive influence on the economic progress of our city in the coming years.

Weiss is looking forward to his new role at the Vienna Business Agency with enthusiasm: “I am proud to be able to contribute to the further development of Vienna as a business location together with the team at the Vienna Business Agency. With a lot of proximity to practice, but also with visionary goals, we will take the right steps for the city’s economy in order to promote innovation and economic progress on a large and small scale. This applies to the local supply company as well as to the international high-tech group that wants to operate in Vienna. Only together with companies can we further strengthen Vienna’s excellent positioning as a Smart City Vienna.

Weiss succeeds Gerhard Hirczi, who took over the management of the Vienna Business Agency shortly after the global financial crisis in 2009 and is retiring at the end of the year. Gregor Deix remains the second managing director of the Vienna Business Agency.

The outgoing managing director Gerhard Hirczi on his farewell: “For 15 years, I had the opportunity to strengthen Vienna as a business location and convince international companies of the qualities of our city. For me it was and is one of the best jobs in the world.

Despite negative forecasts, the number of international business establishments has tripled since he took office. In total, over 2,500 settlement projects have been implemented in Vienna since 2009.
