Fantastic Tyrolean Economic Forum 2024

International business conference with 400 guests and top personalities from all over the world

On November 5, 2024, top-class entrepreneurs, decision-makers, start-ups, and guests met for the 33rd time at Congress Innsbruck as part of the Tyrolean Economic Forum.

This year, 400 visitors gathered in the packed Dogana at Congress Innsbruck to take part in presentations, discussions, an exchange of ideas, and networking under the motto “The future of the location: worshipping the ashes or nurturing the fire?”. Renowned experts, valuable impulses and a wide range of opportunities for networking once again made this year's event an absolute highlight of the year.

For the first time, a start-up pitch was held as part of the event, where selected young entrepreneurs were able to introduce themselves to the audience with short presentations. The event was followed by a get-together in the foyer for a relaxed exchange and networking with customers, partners and friends.

After Max Kloger, President of the Federation of Austrian Industries Tyrol, opened the event, Alois Vahrner, Editor-in-Chief of the Tiroler Tageszeitung, hosted an exciting afternoon with highly topical issues, fascinating presentations and lively discussions. Once again this year, the Federation of Austrian Industries Tyrol, together with MCI | The Entrepreneurial School® and other partners, was able to attract top-class speakers for the event:

• MICHAEL KASCHKE
  Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT); Chairman of the Executive Board of the ZEISS Group (2011 - 2020)
