AUSTRIAN BUSINESS CIRCLE – REVIEW
The Austrian Business Community in Serbia consists of around 450 companies. Every 4 to 6
weeks, the Commercial Section of the Austrian Embassy organises an AUSTRIAN BUSINESS
CIRCLE to provide a platform for the Austrian companies to network and exchange news and
information amongst themselves. Usually a prominent guest speaker gives a short
presentation to provide some “food for the mind and food for discussion”. Previous guest
speakers include several Serbian Ministers, Governors of the National bank, Olympic and
World Champions etc.
The Austrian Business Circle is a closed event. Its members are only Austrian companies
and Serbian business partners of Austrian companies. The Austrian Business Circle does not
charge membership or evening fees, which makes it a more “exclusive” club than other
associations. The events are financed by the Commercial Section of the Austrian Embassy
together with sponsors, usually an Austrian company, which presents itself in front of the
Austrian community.
Presentation room and cocktail room
The Austrian Business Circle is divided into two parts:
 Presentation of the sponsor and of the guest speaker in a seated presentation room
 afterwards cocktail (standing) to allow networking
Length of presentation
The length of the presentation should not exceed 10-15 minutes.
Language
The Austrian Business Circle is not an “Österreicherverein”, the target group being both
Austrian company representatives as well as Serbian business partners of Austrian
companies as well as Serbian representatives of Austrian companies. As a common
language therefore English is used for presentations and speeches.
