An Expert Group Meeting (EGM) was organized on 26 June 2018 to discuss “What soft factors make Vienna an attractive investment location and one of the most liveable cities in the world?”. The EGM was designed to facilitate the discussion about the case study on the City of Vienna, which will be discussed during the 3rd “BRIDGE for Cities” event, to be held from 9 to 11 October 2018.

The EGM – co-organized by UNIDO and City of Vienna’s – gathered together more than twenty speakers and forty participants, presenting different point of views on the Viennese soft environment – from healthcare to culture life, from business climate to education and mobility – to pinpoint and define in which way each of those factors can contribute to the enhancement of any city’s liveability.
