Economy

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

The economic service is a central point of contact for economic issues with the understanding of a modern "One Stop Shop". In collaboration with the various departments of the town hall, the expertise of the city administration is offered in connection with those of the relevant interest groups and authorities in economic matters. Emphasis is placed on addressing the needs of entrepreneurs individually and advising them comprehensively and time-efficiently.

The topics range from searching for suitable land for starting a business, office and logistics spaces, infrastructure facilities, location data to specific questions about operational approval procedures. Upon request, a so-called "scoping", a pre-authority consultation tool that involves all participating organizations and authorities and is intended to enable a rapid procedural processing, can also be organized.

Cooperation management builds on enabling companies at the location to create so-called "agglomeration effects" through cooperation. This instrument strengthens the competitiveness of companies through cooperation at horizontal and vertical levels. Location development, economy, and marketing support cooperations at a spatial level, such as downtown interest groups "Upper Old Town", "Brass/Cross Alley", "Swiss/Muchar Alley", "Dwarf Alley", and the main square.

Thematic cooperations such as the "Lienz City Market", the "Lienz Rose", the collaboration of local bakers in the "Original Lienz Lebzelt" project, and others are also supported. Municipal cooperation management includes formal support services for founding, strategy development, financing, implementation, and promotion of interest groups. 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 traffic generator and at the same time as 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 Tyrol location agency, the Tyrol Chamber of Commerce, and Innos, Innovative East Tyrol GmbH. A particularly promising project for location development is the Mobility Center Lienz train station, for which the specialist department is actively involved in project development.
