A great opportunity for students from all fields to get to know the startup ecosystem and gain a first glimpse of what it means to be an entrepreneur. Plus: it's the perfect occasion to connect with the main players of the industry and start your career in tech.

I’ve been an avid supporter of the Entrepreneurship Avenue since the very beginning. The concept was very clear and obviously successful. There are three things I love the most: It is organized by students for students. Every year a new generation can learn and grow, practice entrepreneurship and leadership, and vastly expand their exposure and network (most got great job offers or started their business afterwards). It brings together students from a variety of universities (from business, arts, to tech and sciences). The diversity of approaches, ways of thinking and understanding the world is at the core. This is the foundation for disruptive innovation, but more importantly it enables participants to break their own silos and discover new worlds. It is great fun for all involved despite the significant amount of pro-bono work invested.

FFG is proud to support Entrepreneurship Avenue because we believe that there is so much potential of young students in academic institutions. We support young founders in the transition of this potential into great innovations within startups and spinoffs e.g. with programs such as the FFG Spin-off Fellowship and many other programs to turn ideas into business reality. The Entrepreneurship Avenue is a great program to boost entrepreneurship and we are happy to support this important initiative. Happy Birthday Entrepreneurship Avenue!

Talents play a crucial role in shaping the future of our economy. That's why we're thrilled to support the Entrepreneurship Avenue, which provides a platform for students to showcase their ideas, connect with mentors and investors, and gain the skills and resources they need to launch successful businesses. We aim to empower students to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams and every year we look forward to seeing the amazing ideas and innovations that emerge from the Entrepreneurship Avenue.

The Entrepreneurship Avenue has become a fundamental part of the ecosystem over the last ten years, being one of the main centers to encourage and support entrepreneurship for students. Innovative universities and forward thinking professors are crucial in educating the founders of the future. For the future, I hope that universities intensify the exchange between faculties, to build the best teams for long term successful startups.

I probably got to know the Avenue from every possible perspective - once as a member of the organizing team, then as a participant with my own startup and now regularly as a mentor, workshop host or speaker. That's why the Avenue always feels a bit like a homecoming for me - lots of old familiar faces, new inspiring connections and endless entrepreneurial spirit. All of this makes the Entrepreneurship Avenue a cornerstone in Austria's yearly startup calendar.

Austrian startups and spin-off s are among the biggest innovation drivers. With their technologies and their entrepreneurial spirit, they provide important impetus for the transition to a green and digital economy. Entrepreneurship Avenue makes a signifi cant contribution here by promoting entrepreneurship in the academic environment at an early stage and enabling unique, cross-university networking. The Austrian Chamber of Commerce also supports these efforts with a variety of services such as înno up, Born Global Academy and the Startup Landscape Austria.

The Entrepreneurship Avenue acts as a key program for students. They can develop and test new business ideas, build valuable networks and improve skills that are helpful to found a startup. It encourages students to explore their talent, to discover opportunities in the startup scene and to try out their entrepreneurship potential fi rst hand. Participants benefi t especially from the strong interdisciplinary and cross-university interaction. Hence, the program contributes signifi cantly not only to the academic innovation ecosystem but to the entire Austrian startup ecosystem. I congratulate the organizers SIMConnect and the Entrepreneurship Center Network to their 10th anniversary and wish for many successful Avenues yet to come.
