Economy

One central area is the so-called "maintenance of existing businesses". This involves providing good location-based economic conditions to local entrepreneurs and being their central point of contact. This area describes structural topics such as providing fast internet access, location-based issues like optimizing the connection of regional value chains, and acting as an interface between politics, administration, and economy.

The Economic Service is a central point of contact for economic matters with the understanding of a modern "One Stop Shop". In cooperation with various departments of the town hall, the expertise of the city administration is offered in collaboration with those of the relevant interest groups and authorities in economic matters. Emphasis is placed on addressing the needs of entrepreneurs individually and providing comprehensive and time-efficient advice.

The topics range from finding suitable land for starting a business, office and logistics spaces, infrastructure facilities to location indicators, and specific questions about operational approval procedures. Upon request, a so-called "Scoping" is also organized, a pre-authority consulting tool that involves all relevant organizations and authorities and is intended to enable a quick procedural handling.

Cooperation management is based on enabling companies at the location to achieve so-called "agglomeration effects" through cooperation. This instrument strengthens the competitiveness of companies through cooperation on a horizontal and vertical level. Location development, economy, and marketing support cooperations on a spatial level, such as downtown interest groups "Obere Altstadt", "Messing-/Kreuzgasse", "Schweizer- /Muchargasse", "Zwergergasse", and the main square.

Thematic cooperations such as the "Lienzer Stadtmarkt", the "Lienz Rose", the collaboration of local bakers in the project "Original Lienzer Lebzelt", and others are also supported. Municipal cooperation management includes formal support services for founding, strategy development, financing, implementation, and promotion of the interest group. Cooperation management bundles regional forces, professionalizes and stabilizes cooperation, and forms networks.

In order to actively shape and control the attractiveness and appeal of the market system as a frequency generator and at the same time a platform for regional food and products, the specialist department, on behalf of the city, takes on the function of market management.

Here, the specialist department acts as an interface between funding applicants and supports good project ideas through know-how in close cooperation with Regional Management East Tyrol, Leader and Interreg funding agencies, the Location Agency Tyrol, the Chamber of Commerce Tyrol, and Innos, Innovative East Tyrol GmbH. A particularly promising project for location development is the Mobility Center Bahnhof Lienz, for which the specialist department is actively involved in project development.
