Spin-off AustriA
Conference 8. Oct 2025
Join us at the Spin-off Austria Conference in Salzburg (hosted by FH Salzburg and in collaboration with the ECN) to explore the latest trends, challenges, and triumphs shaping the spin-off scene.
Look forward to inspiring inputs, in-depth conversations and workshops that give the floor to your perspectives, thoughts and needs, networking opportunities and fresh perspectives on the future of spin-offs in Austria.
The Spin-off Initiative invites you to discuss the status quo of the Austrian spin-off landscape. Each year, a different core theme is selected to serve as the focus of the discussions.
