Experts also spoke a lot about the opportunities and also the challenges Austrian companies will face until 2025, starting with the new cyberlaw right up to China’s need for expert knowledge in high tech and key technologies.

Talent recruitment was a hot topic, where almost 9 out of 10 attendees spoke about the difficulty to find the right employees, in particular, local people with the right working attitude and the required education. The huge demand for talents comes from areas like Mechatronics, IT, Intralogistics and Robotics. It covers exactly the needs where China will expand until 2025.
