In 2024, the Austrian sports sponsorship market reached €1.68 billion, marking a 12% increase from the previous year, with Raiffeisen leading financial brands at €21.5 million in advertising value. The top sports driving growth were the Alpine Ski World Cup, Formula 1, and the European Football Championships, while skiing's prominence has diminished compared to soccer and Formula 1. Notably, Manuel Feller emerged as the most valuable individual athlete with an advertising value of €7 million.
The Raiffeisen Arena in Linz, opened two years ago, has attracted 820,000 visitors, hosting 57 matches and various events. A study revealed its construction boosted regional GDP by €44.07 million and created around 950 jobs, highlighting its significance for local sports and economy. LASK CEO Siegmund Gruber noted the arena's role as a milestone for the club and Upper Austria's business landscape.
The 2025 BNP Paribas Open, starting March 2 at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, is projected to generate nearly $1 billion in economic impact for the Coachella Valley.

Organizers emphasize the event's ongoing positive influence on local growth and success.

However, only Berkshire employees are eligible for the grand prize, which has never been claimed since the contest began.
At the 2025 Australian Open men's final, corporate heavyweights from Barrenjoey, Bank of America, and UBS showcased their influence as Jannik Sinner defeated Alexander Zverev in straight sets.
