01.03.2016: Business Breakfast: Challenges of High-Tech Startups

Vienna is a strong R&D and Innovation Hotspot. Due to numerous research funding programs and about 1.500 research institutions, Vienna offers ideal requirements for high-tech startups. Still, high-tech startups are facing specific challenges and questions during their startup phase: How to find a fitting research/business partner? Where to ask for financial support? Does the planned technology already exist (patent law)? etc. These challenges and questions will be discussed with two successful Viennese startups:

• Gloria Esposito (Chief Operating Officer) – Austrianni GmbH
• Johannes Homa (Chief Executive Officer) – Lithoz GmbH

Benefit from the experiences they made during their startup phase and learn more about their development as well as the services the Vienna Business Agency provides.
