Chamber of Commerce Vienna plans two new schools with the City of Vienna

"In the field of STEM subjects, there is still room for improvement in Vienna, and the demand for IT specialists is continuously increasing," said the President of the Vienna Chamber of Commerce (WKW), Walter Ruck, in the announcement. "Excellent education and training are as necessary for the success of Vienna as a business location as a piece of bread."

Vienna Chamber of Commerce Wants to Establish HTL and International School with City of Vienna

The HTL is to be built for around 600 students, and the international school, which is to start with the elementary school, is to accommodate even more students. The plan is for a "Recognized European School" that takes into account Vienna's position with more than 200 foreign settlements annually and as the seat of international organizations. The school is also to offer Eastern European languages in particular. Discussions about the financing of the two schools are still ongoing, and according to a spokesperson, there could be an agreement in the fall. The Viennese construction entrepreneur Walter Ruck has been leading the Vienna Chamber of Commerce with 150,000 member companies since 2014. The chamber wants to offer its services around the clock and is therefore intensively engaged in digitization and AI projects.
