vom

For the 31st time, top-class entrepreneurs, decision-makers and interested parties met at the Tyrolean Business Forum. In the sold-out Dogana at Congress Innsbruck, more than 400 visitors came to take part in lectures, exchange of ideas and networking under the motto "Business instead of failure - Technology. Innovation. Location. Values took part. Renowned speakers, valuable impulses, and diverse opportunities for contacts and dialogue, as well as a live feed from former boxing pro Wladimir Klitschko , made the event the highlight of the year.

Even before the start of the event, a "Business Breakfast" invited to a casual exchange and networking with customers, partners and friends. Meanwhile, the foyer offered the opportunity to get in touch with start-ups and young entrepreneurs from the region and talk about future partnerships and investments. Another highlight was provided by the team of the Tyrolean start-up Holo-Light, which introduced the guests to the fascinating world of augmented reality.

After Governor of Tyrol Anton Mattle officially opened the event at the podium, Alois Vahrner, Editor-in-Chief of the Tyrolean daily newspaper, led through an exciting day of cutting-edge presentations and rousing discussions. Once again this year, the Federation of Austrian Industry Tyrol, together with MCI | The Entrepreneurial School® as a partner, was able to attract top-class international speakers for the event:

A captivating round of talks on "Entrepreneurship in Tyrol" with Susanne Haspinger, co-founder and CFO of Holo-Light, entrepreneur Georg Kofler, and MCI Rector Andreas Altmann allowed up-close insights into the start-up scene and rounded off the diverse programme at the podium.

As an additional highlight, multiple world champion Wladimir Klitschko was digitally connected as a guest via livestream. Numerous on-site and online viewers followed the moving interview in which he described the devastating effects of the Russian war of aggression on his home country and Europe.
