The team of ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA Guangzhou and Chengdu wishes you a happy and healthy New Year of the Tiger!
Just like the tiger that represents strength and vigour, we started out strong into the new year with a variety of exciting activities.
In February, we co-hosted two Winter Sports Events in context of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games.
March will see us presenting Austrian food and consumer goods at Chengdu Panda International Food&Culture Festival as well as a business delegation to the tropical island of Hainan – not for enjoying the sunny weather but for an inspection of its recent free trade port and preferential tax policies.
In April, we plan an Austrian Group Exhibition at IE Expo 2022 in Shanghai, at which we hope to exhibit several selected Austrian companies from the field of environmental technologies and in May, we intend to bring Austrian AI, ICT and data companies to Big Data Industry Expo 2022 in Guiyang – both virtually and on the ground.

AUSTRIAN WINTER FEELING IN CHENGDU
Austria is not only a famous destination for tourism and winter sports but also the origin of many cutting-edge technologies in the tourism and winter sports industries. At two tourism and winter sports events in Chengdu organized by the Austrian Consulate General in Chengdu, the Austrian National Tourism Office and ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA Chengdu, a diverse group of Austrian enterprises exhibited their products and technologies to the local audience.
The curious guests were able to see for themselves high-quality skis from brands such as HEAD, ATOMIC and Blizzard and gained insights into cutting-edge technologies such as those from AST, Axess, Doppelmayr and Wintersteiger.

AUSTRIA'S ECONOMY REMAINS CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC
The Austrian economy was showing signs of cautious optimism as 2022 began. After a significant gross domestic product increase of almost 5% in 2021, analysts from UniCredit Bank Austria also anticipate a similar strong economic growth in 2022. Private consumption in particular is set to become a powerful growth driver this year, fueled by the marked improvement in the situation on the labour market and greater certainty about health policy. However, the continued high rate of inflation could increasingly prove to be a sticking point. Also, supply bottlenecks might continue to last over the next months. The economists at UniCredit Bank Austria expect economic growth in Austria to be above average in 2023 too, with a GDP increase of 3%.

China’s ongoing self-imposed isolation from the rest of the world - with no end in sight – is starting to negatively affect businesses. However, there is a silver lining on the horizon.
