Julius awards: Recognition for deserved companies

The Julius Awards are characterized by particularly well-deserved companies and are a tribute to Julius Raab, the founding father of the Economic Association, who founded the organization in 1945. During the event, two companies were particularly appreciated: Hochegger Dächer GmbH from Egendendorf near Hartberg and Eurogast Interex from Hartberg. Both companies received the award for their entrepreneurial achievements, their courage as well as their tradition and visions.

A big thank you for the successful organization of the event was available to the WB organization officer Simone Pfeiffer, who actively contributed together with Johannes Strobl and the Vaibz Beach Gastronomen Felix Koller and Michael Maximilian Dumuta.

The Julius Awards are part of a broader initiative to promote quality and innovation in the company landscape of the region, as can be read on the website of the Wirtschaftsbund. This prize honors the companies that contribute to the creation of growth, employment and prosperity.

Overall, the Julius Award enables companies to highlight as role models in the community, and offers numerous advantages, such as a certificate, a label seal and support from media presence. This initiative is a valuable platform to celebrate and appreciate the success of the companies.

An enriching day on which not only the award was in the foreground, but also the sociable exchange among the participants. Such events show how lively and dynamically the economy is in the region and give reason for hope for the future.
