"We first encountered AI Factory Austria at the INITS Summer Event 2025. What we appreciate about AI:AT is the straightforward support it provides to startups—and to us as Zenta—including compute, training, coworking, and networking. In addition, AI:AT opens doors for us—the hub helps us establish a presence at events and connects us with the right people. We appreciate the warm, welcoming community that comes with it. "

"I'm part of the AI:AT community to work with other innovators to close the gap between cutting-edge sports science and advanced AI multi-agent models. After more than 25 years in the data ecosystem — including at Google and T-Mobile — I highly value environments with high-caliber technical exchange, and I want to contribute through mentoring and sharing our success stories. What excites me most is the chance to collaborate with like-minded pioneers as we scale Wictory.ai and work to revolutionize the market for personalized preventive health."

"I'm at the AI Factory Austria (AI:AT) because I want to be part of a community actively shaping the future of AI in Austria and beyond. What I value most is the spirit of collaboration — building, learning, and working together to make a real impact with AI."

"In a rapidly changing world, knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer matter more than ever. The AI Factory supports us enormously with that — whether through inspiring events, valuable conversations, or informal exchange over lunch."

"We benefit enormously from direct access to Vienna's AI ecosystem. Short paths to talent, co-founders, and potential customers have accelerated our progress from day one. What I value most is a community of founders and practitioners who don't just discuss AI but translate it into real products and concrete use cases — exactly the environment a startup like Soneo needs to learn and grow fast."

"We're part of the AI Factory because it lets us focus on our technology and extend our lead — freed from tasks we're not built for. When we need support in areas like sales and marketing, we have experts right on site, instead of letting dangerous half-knowledge distract us from our core business."

"I'm at the AI Factory Austria (AI:AT) for the coworking space and the HPC resources — essential for the compute-intensive work on AI-powered digital twins of biopharmaceutical cells built from DNA methylation data. Beyond the infrastructure, I value being part of the Austrian AI ecosystem: working at the intersection of biotech and AI can feel like a niche — surrounded by people pushing boundaries in very different fields, real value emerges."

"We're part of AI:AT because deep AI expertise is still rare — surrounded by like-minded people, we can draw on a community that's pushing the field forward, and give something back in return. From casual state-of-the-art conversations over coffee to organized events, this hub is a great place to exchange ideas."

"I'm part of the AI Factory to contribute through mentoring and coaching, help the ecosystem grow and thrive, and drive practical AI adoption in Austria."

"I am part of the AI Factory Austria to exchange ideas with like-minded people who are facing the same startup challenges and to work together on world-class European AI innovations. What I value most are the spontaneous, inspiring encounters with other founders who are on the same journey. "

"We're at AI:AT because we're convinced that Austria needs a strong, sovereign AI infrastructure and a serious ecosystem for applied innovation. What we value most is the opportunity to connect with builders, researchers, institutions, and companies who want to bring trustworthy AI into real-world use. For us, this community is especially valuable as a place to exchange expertise, build real partnerships, and strengthen Europe's AI capabilities."

"AI:AT brings together the research institutions, infrastructure, and startup ecosystem we need to build credibly in Austria. We value the access to applied AI expertise through the ACA and the program's broader network of universities and research partners. For a company at the intersection of energy markets and machine learning, this community is a natural fit."

"I'm at the AI Factory Austria (AI:AT) because, given how rapidly and transformatively AI is developing, we need strong, continuous exchange between experts, companies, and institutions. I value this community highly because it actively closes exactly that gap and fosters the collaboration needed to successfully translate cutting-edge AI into real-world value."

"It's a great opportunity to be right in the middle of the Austrian AI ecosystem. A key benefit is what the AI Factory offers — networking and the chance to learn from each other, exchange ideas, and grow."

"I became aware of the AI Factory Austria through the AustrianStartups network. What I value most is being part of a community where ambitious founders, researchers, and builders openly share ideas and experiences. I'm looking forward to learning from people applying AI in very different ways, exploring potential collaborations, and bringing new perspectives into the development of CALLA REF."

"I was looking for an environment that connects me with people who think similarly while bringing different perspectives — and that's exactly what the AI Factory Austria is. The coworking space brings together a community working in related fields but on very different problems, so new ideas keep emerging. You're constantly learning from others, and whenever you need concrete support, the AI Factory team is always happy to help. All in all, it's a network of highly qualified people that lets you think further than you could alone."

"Ai11 is part of the AI Factory Austria (AI:AT) to connect with innovators, researchers, and industry leaders shaping the future of artificial intelligence in Europe. We value the opportunity to exchange knowledge, build real partnerships, and contribute practical AI solutions with measurable business value. The community offers an ideal environment for collaborating on responsible, scalable AI innovation."

"We place great importance on being surrounded by ambitious teams that are seriously committed to AI. The exchange of experiences and technical expertise is extremely valuable to us. It creates an inspiring environment in which we learn faster, collaborate more closely, and stay closely connected to practical AI applications in Austria and Europe. "

"After ten years in a wide variety of coworking spaces, we can say that the AI Factory sets new standards. It’s not just about excellent infrastructure and a top-tier network—it’s about experiencing firsthand what the Vienna AI ecosystem can achieve when innovation, talent, and partners work together toward a common goal. "

"For me, it's a great opportunity to meet other founders in the AI industry and learn from their experiences—especially how they overcame the challenges of building their startups."

"I really value the technical exchange with other startups. It helps me validate my technical approaches and come up with new ideas for implementing the next steps in development. "

"As a small team of just two people, it’s easy to get caught up in our own perspective. Talking with others who are also building and experimenting with AI opens up new perspectives for us. What’s especially important to us are honest conversations about what works and what doesn’t, as well as the inspiring energy of a strong community. "

"It’s inspiring to be part of a community of like-minded people who question the status quo and want to bring about improvements in a wide variety of fields. We’re united by the goal of using AI in meaningful ways to make the world a little better. The open exchange of ideas and experiences is invaluable in this endeavor. "
