Headquarters Landscape in Austria: Vienna HQs Study Report 2022

Vienna is at the heart of the Austrian economy, hosting 569 headquarters (HQs). With this study, we deep dive into the Viennese HQ landscape and study its composition as well as characteristics in terms of the types, size, sector, and origin of its HQs. This report is meant to be an addition to our previously published report on “Headquarters Landscape in Austria: An Overview” (2022). Therefore, it focuses on a subsample – represented by the HQ population in Vienna – of the initial database of HQs in Austria. Overall, Vienna emerges as an important hub for the financial sector and the service industry – comprising legal, accounting, management, and consulting activities, among others. Moreover, the HQ population in Vienna is characterized by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), but it also hosts a few remarkably large HQs.
