AustrianStartups

Don't miss ELP Demo Day!

The Entrepreneurial Leadership Program (ELP) is our one year educational program for future founders eager to build solutions rather than just complain about problems.

At the Demo Day, you have the chance to get insights into the program and the startup ideas of the fellows. Additionally, second-semester fellows will graduate, and we will celebrate the end of the semester together.

Everyone is welcome to join this event, especially those interested in joining the program, connecting with our fellows, or become part of the AustrianStartups community.

Join us on this special day and celebrate the next generation of entrepreneurs with us! 🎉

Save the date for the AustrianStartups Summit 2026.
The theme? No risk, no fun(ds).
Because no risk means no growth, no innovation, no reward and yet taking bold steps when the outcome is uncertain is still one of the hardest things about building a company.

That's why this year we're looking at risk from every angle. Bootstrapped founders, research spin-off teams, fast-growing scaleups, investors, all will share their experience. The political and economic environment that shapes every decision you make as a founder in Austria right now, will also be part of the discussion.

📅 October 15, 2026 · 12:00 PM – 11:00 PM · Ottakringer Brauerei, Vienna
