A 35-company delegation organised by Advantage Austria’s Budapest office arrived in Vienna on 20 November to coincide with International Mobility Days. Participants range from Magyar Suzuki to AI mapping start-ups and are scouting joint projects in electric-vehicle components, smart logistics and autonomous buses along the Győr–Vienna corridor.
Hungary is Austria’s fourth-largest trading partner, and new EU battery-content rules are pushing OEMs to tighten regional supply chains. Delegates will hold B2B matchmaking sessions targeting Connecting Europe Facility grants that support greener TEN-T corridors. Cross-border commuter traffic has already rebounded to 105 % of pre-pandemic levels; companies expect further growth once the Koralm high-speed rail link cuts Graz–Vienna travel times in December 2025.

The visit doubles as a pilot test of Vienna Airport’s biometric EES kiosks, with delegates providing structured feedback to border authorities. Advantage Austria plans similar missions from Slovakia and Croatia in early 2026, underscoring Vienna’s push to cement its role as the CEE region’s mobility hub.
For HR and travel managers the uptick in short-term assignments means more ETIAS applications, tighter monitoring of 90-day limits and renewed demand for multilingual relocation support.
