Ways to work with us

Four ways in. Start with one.

Most partnerships start with one format, one project or one room — and grow from there.

01

Co-host a format

Your room, our crowd.

Hackathons, debates, pitch nights and workshops. We shape the format, run the programme and bring the young builders, researchers and students into the room.

  • Concept & programme
  • Moderation & staffing
  • Young talent on site
02

Bring a challenge

Real problems, real teams.

A question from your organisation, taken on by a named team from Software & Research — scoped, dated and delivered, like CAST+, our conflict-forecasting work with ACLED data.

  • Named lead
  • Scoped deliverable
  • Public write-up
03

Back skills & pilots

AI fluency, where it's missing.

Workshops for schools, students and small businesses — from school pilots in Upper Austria to free Claude workshops for SMBs across Austria in 2026.

  • Schools & SMBs
  • Tested curriculum
  • Trained facilitators
04

Carry the youth voice

Young perspectives, in the rooms.

Panels, consultations and stages — from Davos and Geneva to Brussels and the UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance. Partners shape that work with us.

  • Panels & keynotes
  • Consultation input
  • Joint positions
The network

Who we build with, and where we belong.

From the partners we run formats with in Linz to the European and global networks our hubs are part of.

Organisations we build with
14 organisations

The cities, universities, innovation centres and communities we run formats with — co-hosted events, venues, programmes.
