Startup Events in Vienna

🙌 Join us for another evening with the UX Vienna community! Prompting for Designers: From Vague Requests to Reliable Outputs In this UX Stammtisch, we’ll look at practical prompting patterns for common designer tasks: research synthesis, copy generation, journey mapping, and more. After a long break, we’re finally back to hosting the Stammtisch in person at das Packhaus in Vienna’s 3rd district. Expect a relaxed evening of short inputs, live prompt walk‑throughs, and plenty of time to swap tips, tools, and war stories with fellow designers and researchers. Feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks as non can be bought at the venue. By participating, you agree that your likeness may be recorded and authorise UX Vienna to use any such recordings for event documentation and promotional purposes.

AI Governance is often framed as a constraint. We see it differently: done well, it enables organizations to move faster, scale AI responsibly, and build lasting trust. In this edition of the AI Austria Community, we explore how governance, compliance, risk and law can become practical enablers for AI adoption — from effective guardrails and legal compliance to operational resilience, cost control and autonomous systems. Together with leaders from Austria’s AI, legal, risk and compliance ecosystem, we will discuss the frameworks, operating models and lessons learned that help teams deploy and scale AI with confidence. Hosted by AI Austria, in collaboration with AI Factory. Agenda 16:45 – Doors Open & Arrival 17:00 – Welcome & Opening Hosted by AI Austria — Amin Khater → Why AI Governance is a scaling factor 17:10 – The AI Act and Beyond: Trusted AI & Legal Compliance Stefan Humer → Turning regulatory requirements into clear, workable action 17:25 – Governance, Risk & Resilience in Practice Thomas John → How clear controls, accountability and operational resilience enable AI adoption in regulated environments 17:40 – From Effective to Economic: Taming AI Cost Danail Ginin → How to control, plan and reduce token spend 17:55 – Who Does What, When, and How: Governance for Autonomous Work Jürgen Eckel → Building the architecture for policy definition, audit layers and enforceable rules for every autonomous system in the company 16:45–20:00 – Networking, Drinks & Conversations → Meet the speakers, exchange ideas and connect with the AI Governance community 📍 Location AI Factory, Karl-Farkas-Gasse 22, 1030 Vienna 🗓 Date & Time 17 November, doors open at 16:45 Talks begin at 17:00 🎟 Admission Free and open to the community

He is an AWS Community Builder, co-lead of AWS User Group Vienna, an AWS New Voices 2025 graduate, and an event manager with AWS Community DACH e.V., where he helps organise AWS Community Day DACH and co-organised AWS Community GameDay Europe in Vienna. Seven AWS certifications later, he still believes the interesting part of the job is the part that does not fit the reference architecture. He has spoken at AWS Community Days across Europe, at Conf42, on the re Recap Tour, and at the AI for Developing Countries Forum at the United Nations in Vienna.

Dmytro's session My Step Functions DAG Was a Lie: Going Agentic on 8,000 Photos Once I decided to translate my photography experience into a serverless pipeline. I judged 8,000 photos of your faces, and it was a big success - we turned a problem into a solution with AWS. Lambdas, Rekognition, Bedrock and the rest played together as a system, delivering a m

Künstliche Intelligenz entscheidet mit darüber, wer in Zukunft wirtschaftlich und politisch den Ton angibt. Die USA und China bauen die großen Modelle, Europa schreibt die Regeln und neue Player wie die Golfstaaten investieren Milliarden in Rechenzentren und Talente. Die Karten werden neu gemischt. Welche Rolle kann der Westen in dieser neuen Ordnung noch spielen? Ist Europas Regulierung ein Nachteil oder ein Modell für die Welt? Und was braucht es, damit die nächste KI-Erfolgsgeschichte nicht nur in Kalifornien entsteht, sondern auch bei uns? Diese Fragen diskutieren wir beim nächsten Innovation Circle im Fishbowl-Format. Nach kurzen Impulsen der Gäste öffnet sich die Runde: Ein Stuhl bleibt frei und alle im Raum können sich dazusetzen und mitdiskutieren. Speaker: Dr. Margarete Schramböck, Bundesministerin a.D. für Digitalisierung und Wirtschaftsstandort, Board Member bei Aramco Digital Jakob Steinschaden, Mitgründer und Chefredakteur von Trending Topics und Mitgründer von eustella Markus Raunig, Vorstandsvorsitzender der Stiftung Unternehmerische Zukunft und Executive Chairman von AustrianStartups Moderation Andreas Grassl, geopolitischer Analyst und Content Creator Ablauf 18:30 Einlass 19:00 Beginn ca. 20:30 Ausklang und Networking Der Innovation Circle ist eine unabhängige, überparteiliche Plattform für junge, engagierte Menschen aus Politik, Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Zivilgesellschaft. Die Plätze sind begrenzt. Bitte melde dich an, wenn du dabei sein willst. Die Veranstaltung findet in Zusammenarbeit mit weXelerate statt.

Hi Deep Learners, We are happy to announce the next Vienna Deep Learning Meetup on November 25 at Fiskaly. Our Agenda: \\\ Agenda: 18:15 Arrival 18:30 Welcome by the meetup organizers Introduction by the hosts 18:45 Talk 1: From Metadata to Labelled Imagery: MaskGIT for Land Cover Synthesis and ControlNet-Guided Diffusion for Earth Observation Images by Lydia Abady and Sebastian Ratzenböck (Another Earth) 19:30 Announcements Networking Break 20:00 Talk 2: Inside TED AI by Jakob Reiter (Mimirio) 20:30 Networking \~22:00 Wrap up & End \\\ Talk Details: \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Talk 1: From Metadata to Labelled Imagery: MaskGIT for Land Cover Synthesis and ControlNet-Guided Diffusion for Earth Observation Images Pixel-level labels for Earth observation are expensive to produce and unevenly available across regions, classes, and resolutions. What if we could generate the labels first and then the images to match them? In this talk, we present a two-stage approach to generating synthetic image-label pairs. First, a MaskGIT-style masked token transformer synthesizes land cover maps conditioned on metadata such as class distribution, ecoregion, city, and ground sample distance. These conditions guide the composition and geographic characteristics of the generated scenes. Second, a diffusion model generates corresponding optical imagery, using ControlNet to incorporate the land cover map alongside metadata conditioning. Because the image is generated from the map, every sample comes with labels aligned pixel by pixel. Through a visual walkthrough of generated land cover maps and their matching images, we show how changing the metadata reshapes a scene, how the same layout looks across different regions and resolutions, and how this approach can produce labelled data on demand for rare classes and under-represented areas. About the speakers: Lydia Abady is an AI Engineer and researcher specializing in generative AI, machine learning, and computer vision. S
