You bring the room and the question. We build the programme, run the evening and fill it with the young builders and researchers of Linz and Vienna.
Hackathons, pitch nights, debates and salons. We shape the programme, moderate and bring young builders, researchers and students into the room.
Funding for the format — and, if you want, a theme or challenge you shape with us as co-partner.
Concept, programme, venue, hospitality, speakers, moderation, registration and the invitation to our community.
Co-branded communication and a public write-up on our impact page afterwards.
Dated, named and scoped — straight from our impact record.
