He expressed sincere gratitude to member companies, business partners, the government, and consulates for their strong support to the Chamber's work.

Mr. Erich Kaiserseder then reviewed the achievements of the past year, notably in improving government procurement transparency, assisting member companies in securing government subsidies, boosting the cultural & tourism market, and fostering sustainable business practices.
