Empowering Europe: Technological Leadership for a Resilient Future
This year's Technology Talks Austria will take place on September 10 and 11, 2026, at the MuseumsQuartier Vienna – back-to-back with the FFG Forum (September 9, 2026).
The central theme is “Empowering Europe: Technological Leadership for a Resilient Future.”
A mix of high-caliber keynotes from internationally renowned speakers, diverse plenary debates, in-depth workshops, and plenty of room for discussion and networking will highlight the central importance of research, technology, and innovation (RTI) for a strong and resilient Europe.
Technology Talks Austria 2026 will bring together decision-makers from politics, industry, science, and international innovation ecosystems to discuss how resilient infrastructures, digital ecosystems, and strong industrial and research capacities can strengthen Europe's technological leadership. The conference will also focus on talent, skills, interdisciplinary collaboration, and future-oriented frameworks that accelerate ecological and digital transformation and international cooperation.
