We’re turning 3!

Three years ago, EIT Health Austria started as a local hub of EIT Health – and a flagship project of the City of Vienna – with a big mission: to connect brilliant minds and drive health innovation across the country. Today, we’re proud to be part of a thriving ecosystem that is pioneering health innovation in Austria.

To all the start-ups, universities, research organisations, NGOs, businesses, and health innovators who’ve joined us on this journey – thank you. Your energy, ideas, and commitment have been the heartbeat of everything we do.

We are also grateful to our incredibly supportive funders on European and national level that are supporting us through Horizon Europe funding or through national funding in projects like HealthGateway.Austria, Smart Fox or Academia2Entrepreneurs:

The EIT – European Institute of Innovation & Technology, the Austrian Research Promotion Agency FFG, the Federal Ministry of Economy, Energy and Tourism, the Federal Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection, the Vienna Business Agency and the Federal Ministry of Women, Science and Research.

And to the incredible individuals who’ve shaped our local team over the years -you’ve built something truly special. Your passion and dedication continue to inspire!

To mark the occasion, we’ve put together a 100-page photo album filled with memories, milestones, and moments that tell the story of our journey. It’s a celebration of what we’ve built together – and a testimony of our thriving network of health innovators in Austria!
