Event of Intent – First Edition: Turning Conversations into Commitments

07 July 2026 | 16:00-20:00 | Napo Pizza am Campus TU Graz

What is the Event of Intent?

Most networking events end with: Let’s stay in touch! Event of Intent ends with signatures.

The Event of Intent is a new format that brings together startups, scaleups and established companies with one shared purpose: to transform challenges into opportunities and create potential matches for meaningful collaboration.

In an evening of short pitches, challenge presentations, and speed dating, participants get the chance to find their match – and make it official on the spot with a Letter of Intent or a formal partnership agreement.

No endless follow-ups. No „let’s stay in touch.“ Just real commitments, signed on the night!

What to expect?

Pitch. Match. Win.

Present your startup, tackle real corporate challenges and win tickets to the Investment Dinner Graz — an exclusive evening with international VCs, deep tech founders and industry leaders.

Who should attend?

Startups & scaleups looking for corporate partners or pilot customers. SMEs and corporates with concrete innovation challenges, looking for potential execution partners. Investors and ecosystem enablers.

Hosted by | Science Park Graz

Organised with | ScaleUp Association
