The Federation of Austrian Industries (de: Industriellenvereinigung, or IV for short) is the voluntary and independent body representing the interests of Austrian industry and its related sectors. The IV maintains a wide network of contacts and relations and has an office in Brussels. As a lobbying organisation, it pursues its goals and represents the interests of its members in Austria as well as on a European level. It currently has more than 4,400 members. Georg Knill, the managing shareholder of the Knill Group and president and chairman of Rosendahl Nextrom, is its president.[1]

The IV was co-founded in 1946 by Hans Lauda, who served as the organisation's president from 1946-1960.[2][3]
