Do you have an idea that could change the world? Then submit it to the ‘IdeaUP Ideas Competition’ by 13 December 2025 and take advantage of the opportunity to win exciting prizes. Whether it's a new technology, a revolutionary business concept or just a rough sketch of an idea – all ideas are welcome!

Startup Salzburg, together with its partners, organises the annual ideaUP! ideas competition. Creative minds from Salzburg and the surrounding area can submit their innovative ideas. Whether it's a revolutionary business concept, a rough sketch of an idea or a start-up about to enter the market – all ideas are welcome. A jury of experts evaluates the business ideas according to their degree of innovation, customer benefit, unique selling point, economic feasibility and potential for realisation.
The best ideas can choose the appropriate prize for their team from a pool of prizes. There is also a special prize for the best place in EdTech. The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in January 2026.
Submissions are open from 13 October to 13 December 2025!
In January 2026, the IdeaUP! winners will be announced with public voting (audience award).
