About PASCO
Connecting Chinese tech talent in Austria
The Austrian-Chinese Technology Association PASCO was founded in Vienna and is a non-profit professional association for Chinese professionals in Austria working in technology, research, engineering and industry. Since its founding in 2011, the association has built a platform for professional exchange, fostered mutual support among members, and advanced China-Austria and China-Europe technology cooperation.
Mission and overview
Why we exist
We believe the connection between technology professionals should not end with a single event or business card. PASCO aims to build a long-term, trustworthy and supportive community for Chinese professionals in Austria — so that academic exchange, career development, industry collaboration and cross-border connection all find a natural starting point.
