The first edition of our Executive Dinner was a success!

On Saturday, September 28th, we were proud to host the first edition of our Executive Dinner in collaboration with uniforce and the restaurant “Magda’s”!   This exclusive gathering brought together two prominent CEOs—Eric Gotschier, representing Industry Park Euronova, and Erwin Smole from Stadtwerke Klagenfurt. Among the fifteen startups and high-potential students who applied, we selected three innovative startups and an outstanding student from the Carinthian University of Applied Sciences to join us for a memorable six-course dinner.

The evening’s discussions revolved around the theme of “Circular Economy,” with a focus on sustainable business models and the future of this practice in the Alps-Adriatic region. In this intimate setting, participants engaged in thoughtful dialogue, exchanged ideas, and gained valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in this crucial sector. The exclusive atmosphere allowed for deep connections and a collaborative spirit, making the event both productive and enjoyable. As David Huels from Lampenglück said: “It was inspiring to see that we’re not alone in trying to make the world more sustainable.”

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everybody who applied to participate in this unique event and helped make the first Executive Dinner a success! Don’t worry if you weren’t chosen this time – this is only the beginning. Make sure to stay to tuned via our network to find out more about the next edition!
