Welcome to the Erste Bank Case
Welcome to the Wiener Städtische Case
With the launch of the 2026 Business Case Challenge, Wiener Städtische invites the next generation of talent to contribute to solutions for an open and inclusive future. As one of Austria's largest insurance companies, Wiener Städtische has stood for solidarity, social commitment, and sustainable business for almost 200 years. The company already implements numerous initiatives to be attractive to various target groups – e.g., for women and young employees. Diversity plays a central role in this. However, it is crucial how visible these steps actually are, both externally and internally.
The question therefore is: How can Wiener Städtische further strengthen its employer attractiveness and address various groups even more specifically? How can different customer segments be addressed even better?
Consider Wiener Städtische and its activities to engage various target groups (especially women and young people) – what ideas do you have for a campaign with a positive social impact to attract a diverse workforce and, in particular, students?
