Federation Of Austrian Industries

The Federation of Austrian Industries is the voluntary and independent representation of interests of the Austrian industry and its related sectors. Since 1946 the IV has taken part in all legislative processes as a recognised partner of politics. A federal organisation, nine regional groups and the IV-office in Brussels represent the issues of its currently more than 4,400 members in the manufacturing sector, credit and insurance sector, infrastructure and industry-oriented services in Austria and Europe. The Federation’s members represent more than 80 per cent of domestic manufacturing companies. The efficient and modern organisation’s work is essentially based on four pillars: - REPRESENTATION OF INTERESTS - NETWORK - SERVICE - THINK TANK Through innovative concepts and expertise the Federation strives to make Austria fit for the future at the interface between business and politics. At the European level the Federation of Austrian Industries, one of Europe’s most modern and powerful employers’ associations, is the voice of Austria’s industry in the industry and employers’ association BusinessEurope.
