It all starts with
your transformation.
Accelerate your
in the most impactful Ecosystem for Innovation in Austria.
weXelerate was founded in 2017 with the mission
to build an ecosystem for Innovation in Austria.
A place where startups, established companies, investors,
academia, and the public sector connect, collaborate, and
turn ideas into meaningful impact.
Voices from the Ecosystem.
“We have great memories from our time at weXelerate. A strong ecosystem is vital for founders, and weXelerate continues to be a driving force in fostering that growth.”
“We hosted an event at weXelerate in May 2025 and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The team was incredibly supportive, the venue is world-class, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish.”
“Innovation is becoming increasingly complex – which is exactly why a strong innovation ecosystem is essential. weXelerate brings together companies across the entire value chain to jointly tackle challenges.”
“Great experience to run a strategy day within the weXelerate HQ in Vienna. Meeting rooms are stylish, modern equipped, entrepreneurial flair and the team is highly engaged.”
“Startups thrive on the right connections, and exchange with founders or mentors who have ‘been there, done that’ is crucial for success. Programs like weXelerate are a golden opportunity.”
“Great location and a great team to organize events and meetings. Has a great price/value proposition. We did several meetings and events and you’ll have everything you need.”
“We see innovation as a key element not only in our products, but also in how we manage and structure our processes. Exchanging ideas with companies of different industries and sizes is essential to us.”
“Startups need more than just ideas – they need a strong ecosystem, and weXelerate is building exactly that.”
“Great working space in the heart of Vienna with a big variety of networking events and friendly employees that are always eager to help with anything. We are renting our office there for over 5 years.”
“In the program, multiple companies from different industries work on the same challenges. That’s one of the key reasons why the program is so effective.”
“It’s extremely important for us to connect with similarly sized organizations that bring strong experience in innovation management. The exchange across sectors helps us move forward significantly.”
