Founders Lab - Food

Founders Lab – Food is a three-month cost-free incubation program for early-stage founders and startups, taking place from March to June 2026.

We are looking for innovative and scalable business ideas that contribute to a healthy, resilient, and sustainable food system in Vienna.

The Founders Lab includes hands-on workshops with experienced experts and startup founders from the food industry, individual coaching, peer-to-peer learning and access to relevant networks.

We especially encourage people with a migration background, people whose native language is not German, and people who identify as female to apply.

The Founders Lab will be held in either German or English, depending on the language skills of the participants.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have in advance and look forward to receiving your application!
