Startup fair
The day opened with our startup fair — founders from the [sic!] network and ClimateLaunchpad showing off their projects amid a buzz of conversations, new contacts and a whole lot of ideas.

Recap
[sic!]onnect 2026
Our 10th anniversary edition — 29 May 2026, ÖBB Open Innovation Factory. A look back in pictures.
Thanks for being there!
On 29 May 2026 we celebrated the tenth edition of [sic!]onnect — a full day of startups, workshops, keynotes and new connections at the ÖBB Open Innovation Factory. Thank you to everyone who joined! Here's a look back in pictures.
The day in pictures
Lunch break
At midday we caught our breath, ate together and kept the conversations flowing — the best moment to turn new acquaintances into real connections.

Workshops
In the afternoon things got hands-on: parallel partner-led workshops dug into the details — from finance to impact — in small, interactive groups.

Keynotes
Then everyone came together for the keynotes — a word from [sic!], inspiring speakers and closing remarks that left us with plenty to think about.

Our team
None of it would have happened without our team — the people behind [sic!]onnect who poured months of work into this one day.

Dinner & party
And then we celebrated — dinner, drinks, music and good conversation late into the evening. Here's to ten years of [sic!] — and to many more!
