The Linz hub

We ran the Linz floor at factory300: local teams, local mentors, and the shared global brief and timeline. Builders shipped against the same clock as every other hub.

Reading the numbers

5,500+ applications, 1,700+ builders and 13 hubs are figures for the global format, not for Linz. The Linz hub is one of those thirteen.

Global format: 5,500+ applications, 1,700+ builders, 13 hubs.
