We are Weinviertel: strong local companies in the focus of the fair!

Altlichtenwarth, Österreich - On May 30, 2025, the regional trade fair “We are Weinviertel” took place in Altobenwarth, which attracted numerous visitors and regional businesses. The aim was to present the diversity and quality of the regional offers, strengthen networks and make people visible behind these products. In his opening speech, district manager Klaus Kaweczka emphasized the importance of such performance shows for the awareness of the customers. Regional shopping is not only a support for the individual companies, but also a contribution to strengthening the entire region.

The fair was part of the "#Ichkauflokal" campaign, which has been carrying out the Lower Austria Chamber of Commerce (WKNÖ) since summer 2022. This initiative should promote local trade and the economy. Talents and creative entrepreneurs were supported by the representatives of the fair. In Lower Austria, 2,810 companies are currently taking part in this campaign, which underlines the great importance and support for local trade.

The conscious shopping and supporting local business are also funded by other events such as the "#ichkauflokal" event in Salzburg. On May 6, 2024, the event focused on the topic of “Power Selling”, where sales strategies were improved and the advantages of local shopping were emphasized. These initiatives clearly show that the promotion of local trade is more in the foreground today.

strengthening the local economy

In order to improve the economic situation in the regions, local business developmental development focuses on various measures. These include material, personnel and financial support in order to increase the attractiveness for local and potential companies. Cooperation and constant adjustments to the measures play a crucial role in creating a positive location and the establishment of new companies. Economic development also aims to increase the quality of life and create jobs.

• Development of industries and technology clusters on competitiveness
• Provision of commercial and industrial areas
• Support of companies through founding funding and location marketing

Especially in today's time, in which factors such as globalization, shortage of skilled workers and challenges due to economic changes and environmental aspects are present, a proactive and targeted economic development is of essential importance. The aim is to create optimal framework conditions for companies and to have a positive effect on location decisions. Only through cooperation and dialogue between the various actors can the local economy be secured and promoted in the long term.

Overall, the trade fair "We are Weinviertel" shows in an impressive way how important the local trade is for the community. "#Ichkauflokal" is not just a slogan, but a commitment to strengthening the regional economy that people in Lower Austria can rely on.
