Linz09 Creates Networks

Cooperative relationships with the cultural institutions of the City of Linz and the Province of Upper Austria, with already-extant regional festivals, as well as educational facilities, associations and the local indie scene are making it possible to produce more than 200 exhibitions, projects, ideas and concepts over the course of 365 days for Linz 2009 European Capital of Culture. And that’s not all: a long list of organizations including the official tourism agencies of the city and province, Linz AG, the city’s cab companies, the Upper Austrian Chamber of Commerce, the ÖBB–Austrian Federal Railways, municipal agencies, and associates in the food & beverage, hospitality and retail sectors are working together with Linz09 to assure that we’ll do an outstanding job as Europe’s official host city.

Linz 2009 Kulturhauptstadt Europas Organisations GmbH is subsidized by the City of Linz (20 million euros), the Province of Upper Austria (20 million euros) and the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Art and Culture (20 million euros). The European Union has issued a declaration of intent to contribute 1.5 million euros. Linz09 is also receiving contributions from private-sector associates and sponsors. Topping the list of Linz09 Top Club partners are voestalpine AG, ORF–Austrian Broadcasting Company and ÖBB–Austrian Federal Railways. As of December 2008, sponsoring agreements are adding approximately 10 million euros to Linz09’s budget, including 5.9 million euros in payments-in-kind (advertising, goods and services received). Linz09 is looking forward to even more widespread and enthusiastic support for this once-in-a-lifetime undertaking from throughout the local and regional economy.

Since November 20, “The Programme” goes on sale at the regular price of €19 at the Linz09 Infocenter on Hauptplatz, in local bookstores, and at Springer Verlag’s online shop (http://www.springer.com/springerwiennewyork/art/book/978-3-211-89215-2). Holders of the Linz09 Card or the Linz09 Insider are entitled to purchase “The Programme” at the discount price of €9.
