ViennaUP is a decentralized, community-driven festival in the heart of Europe, shining a light on what the future of technology holds. Together with several contributing partners, ViennaUP’22 offers a unique interconnected experience for startups, investors, tech enthusiasts, creatives, and visionaries.

ViennaUP is curated by the Vienna Business Agency and brings you a selection of the most exciting events from the ViennaUP community.

Spotlight on Female Founders and Women in Leadership

“At this year’s ViennaUP, a core focus will be on female-led startups and companies. We really can’t afford to miss out on women and their perspectives. That’s why it’s so important for women entrepreneurs to help shape the economy. It’s also good business: Companies that are diverse are more sustainable and more economically successful”, says Gabi Tatzberger, Director of Startup Services at the Vienna Business Agency.

Austria, and especially Vienna, is gaining a reputation as a hub for female startup founders and entrepreneurs. With a strong community and support system that goes beyond mentoring into acquiring funding and scaling businesses, close to 45% of startups founded in 2020 were by women.
