ViennaUP 2025
The Startup Festival
Meet ViennaUP - The Startup Festival
ViennaUP is an annual decentralized, community-driven festival, calling all innovators and visionaries to the heart of Europe. A city-wide adventure, ViennaUP was initiated by the Vienna Business Agency and returns year after year with opportunities for founders, investors, tech enthusiasts, and creatives. Diverse events are hosted by partner organisations from the local and international startup community. Participants will open their minds to new inventions, debate hot topics, network with like-minded individuals, learn new skills and meet Vienna.
If you are a startup, investor, innovator or tech talent interested in gathering inspiration, meeting the Viennese innovation community or exchanging ideas with brilliant minds from around the world, this is the festival for you.
Uniting trailblazers from around the world, ViennaUP has become a fixture of the international startup community, proven by last year’s resounding success. In 2024, Vienna welcomed over 15,000 participants from over 90 countries to more than 80 events. Together, we truly lit up the Viennese startup ecosystem.
