Austrian business culture

Austria is a reliable and well-organized European market. Punctuality, professionalism, and hierarchy are valued. Meetings are typically scheduled well in advance and follow a formal structure.

Business attire

A suit and tie are standard in many sectors, especially in Vienna. In more creative industries, business casual is acceptable.

Communication

Austrian companies appreciate clarity, politeness, and respect. Avoid being too informal in emails or phone calls. Always use titles when addressing people.

Gifts & etiquette

Small business gifts are common, especially during holidays or successful project completions. Avoid overly expensive or personal items.

Use your Austrian number to reflect this professionalism in all customer contact—especially when dealing with sensitive topics over the phone.
