Current Initiatives

Startupmark’s initiatives support startups at various stages of development while also strengthening Styria’s position as a hub for innovation. Discover the many opportunities that open the door to tailored support, networks, investors, and new markets. Take advantage of these initiatives to strategically develop your startup from the initial idea through to international expansion.

Green Startupmark aims to establish an innovation ecosystem in Upper Styria by 2028. Pupils, college students, and researchers will receive financial and technical support as they work toward launching their businesses. Green startups will be supported in their growth, and regional businesses will receive assistance with their green transition.

Join us on a tour! Once a year, the SFG’s networking tour takes Styrian startups to the hotspots of the European startup scene. You’ll gain insight into the local startup ecosystem, gain access to new markets, and have time for industry discussions.

Through iCONTACT, SFG is building a strong network of investors and offering you exclusive access to select, innovative startup projects. As a central hub in the Styrian innovation ecosystem, we connect investors with promising Styrian startups.

The INTERREG project Startup 50+ helps people with many years of professional experience bring their business ideas to life and take the leap into self-employment.

The Deep Tech Valleys project is co-financed by the European Union under the Interreg Europe program and, under the leadership of the Regional Development Fund for Central Macedonia (Greece), aims to further develop regional policy measures to support deep tech innovation.
