The Spin-off Austria Conference 2026 brings together key players from academia, business, politics, and the startup ecosystem to discuss precisely this question. The focus will be on current developments, international best practices, and concrete approaches for how spin-offs in Austria can be created and grow even more effectively.
Look forward to inspiring keynote speeches, insights from leading European innovation ecosystems, real-world examples of successful spin-offs, and a high-profile panel discussion. Through interactive sessions, we’ll work together to identify challenges, ideas, and potential solutions for the further development of Austria’s spin-off landscape.
The conference is aimed at universities, research institutions, investors, female founders, companies, funding agencies, policymakers, and anyone who wants to translate scientific research into entrepreneurial impact.
Following the conference, we invite you to network and exchange ideas with the Austrian spin-off community.
