CIMA Austria
The CIMA is an Austrian – German consulting company, founded 1988 in Germany, with 1 office in Austria and 9 offices in Germany (Berlin, Forchheim, Frankfurt, Hanover, Cologne, Leipzig, Lübeck, Munich and Stuttgart). In Austria our office is located in Ried im Innkreis, a market town in Upper Austria, close to the Bavarian border.
In addition to the traditionally strong consulting fields of local/urban/regional development and local/urban/Town Centre marketing, CIMA Austria has a special market position especially in the field of retail research. Almost all provinces in Austria rely on CIMA’s experience and know-how in carrying out nationwide purchasing power flow analyses, retail structure or retail potential studies. Above all, the experience from Twon centre marketing combined with sound market research knowledge and the corresponding infrastructure makes our range of services unique!
Our strengths are communication and cooperation at the interface between the public sector, the private sector and the active parts of urban society. As a coordinator of public and private interests, we are a methodologically reliable cooperative partner who works out solutions to problems together with the actors in the cities and regions and provides them with knowledge and instruments. As mediators and experts, we act independently and non-partisan.
