„I work where others spend their holidays!”
Klagenfurt is the perfect place to combine work and leisure.
Gentle mountains. Clear lakes. And the ocean. How marvelous to live in a place where all this is within reach. Not to mention the fact that Italy, Slovenia and Croatia are just a few hours’ drive away. So it’s always worthwhile making a day trip to the beach. As you can see, I actually take advantage of the recreational opportunities that “Klagenfornia” has to offer, while being internationally active at the same time. Take, for example, my role as Federal Chairwoman of the Junior Chamber Austria, just to mention one. The thing is, having multiple roles to fill means having a busy schedule. It is part of my job to travel worldwide, yet I started off my international career here in Klagenfurt. Thanks to easily accessible airports, fast motorway connections and the international rail network, I can go to anywhere I want, anytime I want. Besides, in the digital age it is often no longer necessary to be physically present at meetings.
Klagenfurt has become a top location for ICT research and development.
Furthermore, we are increasingly emerging as THE hub for growth markets in Southern and Eastern Europe. It certainly helps that the ever-growing creative industries scene has the necessary entrepreneurial spirit. Klagenfurt – probably the best city in the world – offers the opportunity to work hard in peace and quiet in a unique environment, promoting a healthy work-life balance. For me, that’s the best way to be successful both professionally and privately. I love to start my day at the lake in summer and visit nearby ski slopes in winter. Long story short, after hard and stressful days both here and abroad, there’s no better place than Klagenfurt to get away from it all.
Embrace diversity and let your creativity flow. Surrounded by the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, Klagenfurt is at the heart of three different cultures. This very special feature opens up unique creative potential. A lively exchange and various initiatives ensure that both people and economies grow closer together. This in turn leads to interesting market opportunities for entrepreneurs.
Come to Klagenfurt and you won’t waste your time sitting in traffic, or looking for a parking space anymore! In other words, this city and its unique flair is the perfect way to get more out of life. Let’s assume that short distances will help you save up to one and a half hours per day. This means you would manage to save an entire week a month, give or take. And of course this extra time can be put to good use on other important money-making initiatives or even your leisure time activities. Yet this unmatched quality of work life balance offers more than just entertainment for young party animals. Klagenfurt inspires all people who love nature, the southern spirit, short distances and spending quality time with their loved ones.
While some rest on the laurels of previous generations, we are just getting started. Nicknamed the Berlin of the South, this place will surprise you with creative entrepreneurs and a dynamic start-up scene. But there’s more: Innovative formats foster cooperation between large and small companies. It will take you a little over an hour to reach other agglomerations such as Graz (Koralm Tunnel), Ljubljana and Udine, expanding your entrepreneurial reach in no time.
Located at the shore of one of the most beautiful lakes in Austria, the BUSINESSBEACH at the Lido Maria Loretto guarantees work-life balance for both established and rising entrepreneurs. There are plenty of laptop desks, seats, lockers, power outlets and, of course, free WiFi available to make your life easier. Now get ready to find your new favorite place to work, with a gorgeous lake right outside the window! And while you’re at it, why not make contacts with other fellow entrepreneurs and potential future partners?
