Welcome to iconvienna 2014
East - West Summit on Innovation and Smart Cities
„Willkommen im Herzen Europas. Willkommen in Wien.
Es freut mich besonders, dass in diesem Jahr die iconvienna bereits zum 10. Mal in Wien
zu Gast ist. In einem Jahr, in dem sich auch der Beginn des berühmten Wiener Kongresses
zum 200. Mal jährt. Damals, im Jahr 1814 ging es um die Neuordnung Europas. Bei
Veranstaltungen wie der iconvienna 2014 ist die wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit, vor
allem die Entstehung neuer Kontakte, im Fokus des Europagedankens. Wien steht als
„Stadt im Herzen Europas“ als Wirtschafts- und Informationsplattform und auch als
Vertreter einer Wirtschaftsregion mit zahlreichen Perspektiven im Mittelpunkt der
Veranstaltung.
In Wien, an der ehemaligen Grenze zwischen West und Ost, wurden schon durch
Jahrzehnte Dialoge für Zukunft und Entwicklung „räumlich angesiedelt“. Diese
Drehscheibe ist unsere Stadt geblieben. Die iconvienna als European Business and
Investment Forum unterstreicht diesen Standort, wichtige Beiträge zur wirtschaftlichen
Zusammenarbeit sind Inhalt für Gegenwart und Zukunft.
Als Bürgermeister und Vertreter des Gastgebers Wien sage ich allen Teilnehmerinnen
und Teilnehmern ein herzliches „Willkommen in unserer Stadt“ und wünsche
interessante, informative aber auch erholsame Tage in Wien. Nehmen Sie bitte in
ihrem Herzen ein Stück Wien mit nach Hause.”
Dr. Michael Häupl | Mayor and Governor of Vienna
„We are celebrating the 10th anniversary of iconvienna this year. Following the motto
,Make Contacts to Contracts’ iconvienna represents the best arena for networking at
the top executive level.
It offers a unique possibility to exchange know-how and to find new business partners.
Main topics this year are challenges and opportunities for Smart Cities and Regions in
Europe, innovation and infrastructure and international financing models as well as an
outlook on innovations for Smart Cities and Regions in the global competition.
This year for the first time the “iconvienna young leaders dialogue” youLEAD will be
held - offering networking opportunities to start-up owners, young managers and high
potentials from Central and Eastern Europe. The dialogue aims to develop common
approaches to the topics of the future - this year’s focus is on “Shaping the future of
cities”.
As President I wish all participants successful and enjoyable days during the 10th
anniversary of iconvienna!”
KR DI Dr. Gerhard Hrebicek MBA | President iconvienna
„iconvienna 2014, European Business and Investment Forum, takes place for the
tenth time already. Tying on the success of the past years the forum developed into a
prestigious East-West platform for high level Networking.
Following the motto “Make Contacts to Contracts” iconvienna creates space for
international decision makers and opinion leaders from economy, politics and science
to discuss current topics, future trends and concrete projects and thereby securing
Austria’s leading position as an innovator and business pioneer in the CEE countries.
As chairman of iconvienna I wish all participants interesting and successful days at the
10th anniversary forum.”
KR Dr. René Alfons Haiden | Chairman iconvienna
Statements iconvienna 2014
East - West Summit on Innovation and Smart Cities
„During the recent turbulent crisis years, the supply of bank funding to European economies has
been very significantly curtailed exposing gaps in the way Europe finances economic activity. These
issues have limited and even threatened to prevent Europe’s ability to generate economic growth. A
discussion directed to the identification of adequate financing models for innovation with focus on SME
is an excellent topic for iconvienna 2014 European Business and Investment Forum and should provide
ideas and recommendations necessary in helping improving financing for SMEs innovation projects.“
Stefan Adamec | Advisor to the State Secertary, Ministry of Finance Slovakia
„Grundvoraussetzung für die Realisierung einer Smart City ist die Schaffung eines stärkeren Bewusstseins für das Thema. Ein wichtiges Instrument dafür sind Netzwerke und Kooperationen. Diese dienen
nicht nur dem Wissensaustausch und dem Erkenntnisgewinn, sondern können auch genutzt werden,
um den Themenkomplex „Smart City“ auf europäischer Ebene zu positionieren.“
Mag. DI Dr. Brigitte Bach | MSc Head of Energy Department AIT
„Wir leben in einer Zeit, in der sich die individuellen Mobilitätsbedürfnisse erhöhen und die
Gesamtverkehrsbelastung rasant steigt. Ein wesentlicher Auslöser dieser Entwicklungen ist vor allem, dass
immer mehr Österreicher in Ballungszentren arbeiten und leben. Vorrangiges Ziel ist es, die Leistungsfähigkeit
des individuellen und öffentlichen Verkehrs - insbesondere des Bahnsystems - weiter zu steigern. Die ÖBBInfrastruktur AG verfolgt seit Jahren die Strategie, eine der leistungsfähigsten Bahn-Infrastrukturen in ganz
Europa für die Herausforderungen der Mobilität des 21. Jahrhunderts allen Österreichern zur Verfügung zu
stellen. Wir verbinden Menschen und schaffen damit Werte für Generationen.“
Ing. Mag. (FH) Andreas Matthä | Executive Director ÖBB Infrastruktur AG
„Eine moderne Verkehrsinfrastruktur ist wesentlich für den Erfolg eines Wirtschaftsstandortes sowie
den Wohlstand der Bevölkerung. Anstelle eines konkurrierenden Ausbaus gilt es heute ein funktionierendes Gesamtverkehrssystem sicherzustellen. Neben der physischen Vernetzung der einzelnen Verkehrsträger wird in Zukunft die Bereitstellung hochqualitativer Informations- und Routingdienste, welche alle Verkehrsträger gleichermaßen berücksichtigen, immer wichtiger. Die ASFINAG hat sich bereits
2009 zur aktiven Vernetzung mit dem öffentlichen Verkehr bekannt und in den vergangenen Jahren
verkehrsträgerübergreifende Informationsplattform ,Verkehrsauskunft Österreich‘ umgesetzt.“
Dr. Klaus Schierhackl | Member of the Board ASFINAG
„Die iconvienna ist mittlerweile ein fester Bestandteil des internationalen Erfahrungsaustausches
anerkannter Wirtschaftsexperten geworden. Innovation und Nachhaltigkeit sind wichtige Bestandteile
wirtschaftlichen Erfolgs. Als Spezialbank für die öffentliche Hand strukturiert und finanziert die
Kommunalkredit Projekte in den Bereichen soziale Infrastruktur, Energie, Umwelt und Verkehr. Die
Kommunalkredit freut sich, diese langjährige Initiative zu unterstützen.“
Mag. Alois Steinbichler | CEO, Kommunalkredit Austria AG
„Innovative Unternehmen und erfolgreiche Start-ups beleben unsere Wirtschaft und schaffen
Arbeitsplätze in Österreich. Gleichzeitig wird dadurch auch der Standort krisenfester, weil sie neben den
traditionellen Stärken neue und wichtige Zukunftsfelder stärker besetzen. Die Austria Wirtschaftsservice
(aws) unterstützt österreichische Unternehmen dabei Ideen umzusetzen und neue Produkte zu
entwickeln. Der aws stehen hierbei eine breite Palette an Instrumenten zur Verfügung: erp-Kredite,
Zuschüsse, Garantien, Eigenkapital und Beratungsleistungen.“
Mag. Edeltraud Stiftinger | Managing Director Austria Wirtschaftsservice
„Vienna’s long term experience in smart planning includes many areas such as urban development, social
housing, public traffic, energy and water supply, climate protection and many more. Moreover, Vienna
always had a strong focus on the social impacts of its plans and programs. Based on this, Vienna is one of
the smartest cities of the planet nowadays and at the same time provides an outstanding quality of life.
Nevertheless, there are two main future challenges: First, how to maintain and further develop the high
standards of Vienna as smart and very livable city. Second, originating in its location in the heart of Europe,
how to establish a common process including all surrounding partners, to become a smart region as well.“
