ViennaUP23

ViennaUP’23 is a decentralized community-driven festival blooming in the heart of Europe. Initiated by the Vienna Business Agency, this exciting adventure connects startup ecosystems, businesses, founders, investors, tech enthusiasts, creatives, and visionaries.

The international orientation is reflected by the last year’s tremendous success, with over 10,000 participants from 67 countries visiting 60 events around Vienna. This year, we are looking forward to a nine-day experience emerging out of the cooperation with 30+ program partners, resulting in 50+ opportunities to network, pitch, invest, develop and hack the code.
