Vienna ranks among the largest German-speaking university cities. With approx. 200,000 students – many of whom speak several languages – it has a great talent pool.

Our multilingual team will assist you throughout the process of setting up your business in your language. We can also refer you to notaries, lawyers, and tax experts who speak different languages. Austria's official language is, however, German, so German language skills and/or professional support may be necessary at times.
