Innovation Corner

The exhibition format Innovation Corner gives Austrian start-ups, researchers and innovative businesses a stage for presenting pioneering technologies. Visitors can learn what innovations are currently being explored and get exclusive previews of prototypes. Regularly changing presentations provide multifaceted insights into a wide range of innovative industry sectors, demonstrating how dynamic, diversified and hands-on the STEM field (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) is, including as an economic and employment sector. The exhibits change every six months and, in the current cycle, have been created in collaboration with aws Austria Wirtschaftsservice, showcasing projects from various funding programmes such as aws First Incubator, Jugend Innovativ or aws Preseed | Seedfinancing – Innovative Solutions.

Young ideas. Innovators and their stories
What inspires young people in developing new technologies? How does an idea become a marketable innovation? The Innovation Corner of the Technisches Museum Wien (Vienna Museum of Science and Technology) tells these stories through five projects developed by students and young researchers. The ideas and prototypes on display range from a calendar without words for people with learning difficulties to the resource-saving reuse of used battery cells and a life-saving T-shirt for children.

What all these projects have in common is that they are forward-thinking ideas introduced by young researchers and students who have approached a variety of challenges from a fresh perspective, creating practical solutions with a lasting, positive impact on our lives.

Exhibition duration: until August 2025
