At the Innovation Days, everyone comes together to create something new – no matter if you are an entrepreneurial student, designer, engineer or business leader. The Innovation Days is where you’ll turn ideas into prototypes in 48 hours. We’re in Innsbruck, right where the Innovation Days began. Our challenges aim to transform our region through energy autonomy, smart homes, healthy food and a collaborative innovation space.
