Starting a business in Austria is different.

Whether it’s your first business or your fourth, every entrepreneur in a new country starts from the same place: understanding how the local system works.

👩‍💻 Daria Driuchenko, a Professional Integration HUB 1.0 graduate, chose to apply for the Entrepreneurship edition in order to better understand how entrepreneurship works in Austria before taking the next step.

It means learning new regulations, understanding new systems, and navigating a different market.

Daria’s story is one that many Ukrainian women in Austria will recognize: having the motivation and an idea, but not always knowing how to navigate Austria’s entrepreneurship ecosystem.

That’s exactly what Professional Integration HUB 4.0 – Entrepreneurship is designed for.

Over four months, you’ll learn alongside leading Austrian entrepreneurship experts, receive individual coaching, gain practical knowledge, and transform your idea into a structured business or project concept.

No matter where you are on your entrepreneurial journey, the program provides the knowledge, guidance, and roadmap to help you build with confidence in Austria.

🗓️ Applications are open until August 16.
