JKU Linz opened Entrepreneurship Center

Johannes Kepler University Linz opened its Entrepreneurship Center at the LIT Open Innovation Center on 5 November 2026. More than 250 students and representatives of the innovation ecosystem attended the launch.

The centre is available to students and researchers from all disciplines. Its services address people who are beginning to explore entrepreneurship as well as those preparing a more defined start-up project. They include advice, workshops, individual coaching and the “Idea Readiness Program”.

The Entrepreneurship Center forms part of the university’s “House of Research and Innovation” (HoRI), which brings together JKU support services from initial research ideas through to implementation and commercialisation. The JKU Technology Transfer GmbH complements this work by supporting the commercialisation of scientific innovations, intellectual-property strategies, business cooperation and spin-offs.
