Palfinger AG, Andreas Klauser, CEO

"Alongside Vienna, Upper Austria is the economically strongest federal state in Austria and industry in particular is literally at home here. It is therefore all the more important that Upper Austria is able to provide its talented people with first-class training here. The University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria with its four locations is an indispensable partner for the economy and offers a broad, future-orientated study profile. As a graduate of HTL Steyr, I feel particularly connected to the Steyr campus. I am very pleased that the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria repeatedly appears in international rankings and was recently voted the best management university of applied sciences in Austria. The economy needs the excellent graduates of the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria more than ever. With this in mind: Congratulations on the 30th anniversary and here's to at least another 30 successful years!"
