Direct peers

• Gewerbezeitung (Wirtschaftsverlag): Austrian SME and industry trade publication covering the producing economy and services; directly comparable as a domestic Austrian B2B trade title targeting industry executives with overlapping advertiser pool.
• MM Maschinenmarkt: Established German trade publication for the machinery and manufacturing industry; comparable in editorial focus (Maschinenbau is a key INDUSTRIEMAGAZIN vertical), multi-format distribution, and B2B ad/subscription model.
• FORMAT (Verlag FORMAT): Austrian business magazine covering industry, executives, and economy; both titles compete for the same Austrian C-suite reader and advertiser pool with subscription and event revenue models.
• Trend Magazine: Austrian business and industry news magazine (Trend) covering economy, industry, and executives — directly comparable as a domestic Austrian B2B/industry title targeting the same executive audience with a print+digital subscription model.
