2 3 STYRIA IN NUMBERS │FOREWORD Fotoatelier Robert Frankl ©

Dear Readers,

The province of Styria is beautiful and diverse . Be it her natural beauty, the economy, culture, sports, science or her vibrant club organizations, Styria offers so much in every aspect . This brochure, “Styria in Numbers”, sums up this variety in numbers, giving a precise overview . Things are going very well at present . During the past two years, about 1 .5 billion Euros have been invested in creating more affordable living; both public trans­ portation and the digital highway have been expanded in the region; the quality of health care continues to rise, and unemployment has dropped .

Regional development projects are supported through­ out Styria — more than 400 and counting . We are de­ veloping these places with an eye on the future .

I hope you enjoy reading about us . I would like to thank all those who worked on this project, as well as to ex­ press my gratitude to our partners who are committed to an ever- thriving Styria!

Sincerely, Mag. Michael Schickhofer Vice- of Styria
