The Internationale Wirtschaftsfilmtage, which has taken place every 2 years since 1963, is the oldest and most renowned festival for corporate films from the German-speaking regions. This cross-border industry forum not only honours outstanding creative performance but also identifies future trends. Thus, the internet with its social media technologies offers diverse new application possibilities through which to communicate services and products.
Professional corporate films are a central element of successful market communication and thereby decisive in the competitiveness of companies and facilities. A good corporate film is based on a strong idea, a good concept and high quality execution.
The 24th Internationale Wirtschaftsfilmtage took place under the patronage of Federal Minister Dr. Reinhold Mitterlehner and Mayor Dr. Michael Häupl. President Dr. Christoph Leitl (Austrian Chamber of Commerce) is the patron of the awards together with the chamber representatives from Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, South Tyrol and Luxemburg.
