Oberösterreichische Technologie- und Marketinggesellschaft m.b.H. (TMG): A promising future. Economic and innovation location Upper Austria

Around a quarter of Austria’s industrial production and exports comes from Upper Austria. This makes Upper Austria the leading export and industrial state. TMG is the business agency of Upper Austria, making it the first point of contact for business location and expan­­sion. TMG coordi­nates strategic economic pro­­­­­­­­grammes for the state of Upper Austria and initiates innovation measures. In addition, TMG promotes Upper Aus­­tria as a business location at home and abroad, in order to encourage companies to invest in the region. Innovation trips to countries of economic interest, business location presentations and participation in trade fairs (national and international), media activities, projects such as “OÖ Inter­­­­national” (650 members in 88 countries) and events are just a few examples of TMG’s marketing measures.

TMG plays a vital role in the coordination of the innovations network in Upper Aus­­tria. It designs location and innovation policies and acts as the main point of contact (“one-stop shop”) for com­­panies. Through its activities, TMG makes a valuable contribution to creating and se­­curing jobs as well as increasing income and pros­­perity. TMG has managed nearly 480 business location and expansion pro­­­jects since 1991, resulting in the creation of around 13,200 jobs.
