International businesses, meet Vienna.
Get your business off to the best start in Vienna.Hi! I’m Philipp von Lattorff, and I’m the Chairman of Supervisory Board Boehringer Ingelheim Regional Center Vienna.
Boehringer Ingelheim’s global growth has been rooted in Vienna for many years, propelled by the city’s unflinching support for scientific development and innovation. Not only is Vienna a unique, incredibly well-connected business location—it’s also a place that charms. With a rich culture and deep commitment to sustainability, the city makes it easy to attract world-class talent. I value being able to raise my family in a place that’s safe, green, and that offers access to first-class education.
What’s more, Vienna constantly invests in its business ecosystem. The Vienna Business Agency and the City of Vienna were essential in helping Boehringer Ingelheim find and develop our new production facility in the heart of the city, where we turn innovative research into life-saving products.
