Switzerland and Austria share many characteristics, such as high purchasing power, an R&D driven economy, low unemployment rate, subdivision into independent federal states and, last but not least, a shared language. The ease of exporting to Austria makes it a top priority for Swiss companies who want to expand their activities internationally. Due to its central location in Europe, Austria is closely tied to other EU economies, making it a strong strategic starting point. It is for these reasons that many Swiss SMEs turn to Austria to gain their first experience abroad.
