About us

Our Story

As the Austrian lighthouse project for innovation, we started in 2017 by focusing on Corporate-Startup collaborations.

 

We invited countless startups to Vienna to form batches and share their vision, innovational tech & entrepreneurial spirit with our corporate partners.

 

Our work ignited the innovation economy in Austria but the Startup Scene as well as the world of Corporate Innovation evolved significantly since then.


Today weXelerate is the leading home of innovation, offering it’s tenants and members access to a wide variety of services in support of their innovation needs.


Through our hub in the city center, which is home to 40+ companies, we founded an innovation ecosystem, where we facilitate various collaboration formats, enable people and companies and maximize their innovation potential.

“We believe in your company’s potential to become innovation leader. 


And in your ability to make it happen.

We founded weXelerate for those who constantly challenge the status quo, ask questions and push boundaries.


If you belong to the curious, to those who are willing to experiment, share a risk-taking mindset and most importantly, have tolerance for failure – join us.


Embracing Innovation and Transformation is inevitable for long-term success of ANY company. And your company needs you to make it happen.

Enabling you, is our mission.”
