The Venture Building Project Course, led by lecturer Diana Lauer and i5growth CEO Viktor Penzinger, launched at the Vienna Airport Innovation Center. The day began with a visit to the air traffic control tower, offering panoramic views, followed by presentations from Christoph Schmidt and Thomas Eichtinger on the airport's operations and innovation projects.

Participants experienced a demonstration of DAAV Technologies' autonomous wheelchair, and the event highlighted global partnerships, including Silicon Valley's "Plug and Play". The kick-off concluded with a "Visitors World" bus tour, providing a behind-the-scenes look at ground operations. Organized by Jul Beckmann, the event was a great start for the course and marked the beginning of a promising collaboration with the E&I Institute.
