This was ViennaUP 2026

Wow. ViennaUP 2026 - what a ride! We couldn’t have done it without the support of our 50 amazing partners, our sponsor, and, of course, all the fantastic participants. 

This year, we welcomed over 14,000 participants from 90 countries at 65 events across 43 locations in the city… golly! Together, we truly lit up the Viennese startup ecosystem like a firework.

Want to relive the magic of the week? For the ultimate festival recap, watch the Aftermovie - maybe you made a star appearance! Then, head over to our gallery – and if you share any festival snapshots on social media, don’t forget to use the hashtag #ViennaUP. We love seeing the moments you guys end up sharing and reflecting on with your networks. 

We know you're already chomping at the bit for more networking, collaborating, inspiration and changemaking, and we can't wait either! Good news: ViennaUP will return in 2027:
