Science Connection Vol. II: connect | explore | inspire 🚀
Last week, we at tecnet equity, together with our co-hosts accent Inkubator GmbH and Gesellschaft für Forschungsförderung Niederösterreich m.b.H., had the pleasure of welcoming researchers from Lower Austria to the accent Makerspace in Tulln for Science Connection Vol. II.
As the initiators and co-organizers of the event, we are particularly pleased that we were once again able to create a platform for early-career researchers, PhDs, and postdocs to exchange ideas, network, and gain new perspectives on research, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
✨ What was the goal of the event?
👉 Networking across universities in Lower Austria
👉 Exchanging experiences with research-driven startups
👉 Highlighting concrete support opportunities for entrepreneurial projects
A special highlight were the Entrepreneurial Walkthroughs:
Many thanks to Erik Reimhult (BOKU University), Viktoria Enkmann (RNAnalytics), and Jakob Scherf (Tribotech) for their open and inspiring insights into different paths from research to application.
💡 Equally important: the research pitches from the audience
A big thank you to Habeeb Muraina, Janina Hoth, and Nicola Giuliani, who shared their current research ideas and projects in short, inspiring presentations, thereby sparking further discussion.
We would also like to thank Cornelia Habacher (aws), Lisa Obereder & Charlotte Alber (FFG), and Philipp Hechl (WST3) for their insights into funding opportunities for innovation-driven projects.
The event concluded with a tour of the accent Makerspace and a relaxed barbecue, where attendees deepened their connections and further explored new ideas.
We look forward to Science Connection Vol. III in 2027. 🚀
