Membership
For companies that shape markets
Membership of the ÖSW is not an entry on a list. It is access to a circle of business leaders who work the same markets as you.
Fees
Types of membership
The association has three types of membership fee. The two basic levels cover the same range of services — the difference is whether the membership is held by a company or by an individual. Sector partnership goes beyond that.
Companies & organisations
100 €
per year
For legal entities: companies, professional firms, organisations and institutions. The company receives its own profile in the member directory.
- A profile in the member directory
- Access to all events
- Assignment to more than one sector possible
- Access to the members' area
Individuals
50 €
per year
For individuals who wish to belong to the network in a personal capacity — consultants, specialists or people moving into self-employment.
- Access to all events
- Assignment to areas of interest
- Access to the members' area
- Named contacts
Sector partnership
1000 €
per year
For companies that want to actively support a sector — with their own visibility within that sector and close access to its formats and contacts.
- All benefits of corporate membership
- Active involvement in a sector
- Prominent presentation within the sector
- Close contact with the sector leadership
Scope of services to followWe agree the exact scope of sector support with you individually. Please get in touch.
Services
What membership includes
Exclusive events
Business summits, delegation visits and roundtables in a confidential setting. Formats in which people speak openly, because the circle of participants is small and known.
- Forums and networking evenings
- Roundtables on industry topics
- Delegation visits in both directions
- Business breakfasts
An influential network
Direct access to senior figures in business, diplomacy and politics. Contacts that are hard to build on your own and that last for years.
- Contact with business leaders in both countries
- Access to chambers and institutions
- Connections within your own sector
- An entry in the member directory
Strategic knowledge
Market analyses, investment opportunities and regulatory updates — prepared for people who have to decide, not for people who do research.
- Market information on both economic areas
- Early notice of regulatory changes
- Publications in the members' area
- Assessments from members' own experience
Personal support
Sector leads are available as direct contacts — for specific questions, not for general enquiries.
- A named contact for each sector
- Introductions to suitable contacts
- Support with questions about entering the market
- Support beyond the first introduction
