It is therefore all the more important not to get discouraged. Numerous local companies show how innovative strength and adaptability can be successful even in difficult times. This was shown by the 30th edition of Pegasus, which was celebrated on Thursday evening in Linz’s Brucknerhaus.

The business prize, which the OÖ Nachrichten has been organizing since 1994 with its strong partners Raiffeisen Landesbank Oberösterreich, the state of Upper Austria, the Chamber of Commerce, the Federation of Industry and KPMG, had the motto “New Ways” this year. The applications were quantitatively and qualitatively at the high level that is usual for Upper Austria.
