The Founders’ Fair on March 21 at the Messecongress Graz once again sent a strong signal in 2026: it remains a central meeting point for founders and young entrepreneurs \u2013 diverse, inspiring, and full of entrepreneurial dynamism.<\/p>\n

Around 40 export-oriented founders, young entrepreneurs, and dedicated networkers took the opportunity to engage in direct exchange at the ICS stand. The focus was on individual, practical advice provided by ICS experts Marion Kikinger, Abigail Garcia, and Sandra Tanos. The discussions covered a wide range of topics and offered valuable guidance: from the first steps in planned export projects and current ICS EU projects to specific funding opportunities and upcoming events at home and abroad.<\/p>\n

The positive response underscores the high added value of ICS consulting \u2013 particularly in the early stages of business development. This is precisely where decisive foundations are laid.<\/p>\n

The Founders’ Fair thus confirms once again its role as an enriching platform, as it provides orientation, creates exchange, and supports founders in specifically shaping their international ambitions.<\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
