INNOVATIONSHAUPTPLATZ LINZ

CONNECTING
CREATORS WITH THE
City.

 

The Innovationshauptplatz has been open since July 2, 2019. On the one hand, the Innovation Office of the City of Linz takes its name from its location at Pfarrgasse 3, directly on Linz's main square. On the other hand, it underlines its claim to be the hub for innovation projects in the Upper Austrian capital. Projects that go beyond start-ups, high-tech and the IT industry and can touch all urban areas of life, from education, the environment and social issues to culture.
