At the business talk hosted by Kleine Zeitung and ICS on November 19, 2026, experts will discuss opportunities, areas of tension, and the significance of open markets for the Styrian economy, using Mercosur as an example. The focus will be on reliable partnerships, free trade agreements, the reduction of trade barriers, and common rules and standards.
