We’re proud to share that Philipp Peischl, CEO of IFAVH, took part in key engagements held in Abu Dhabi during the visit of Austrian State Secretary Alexander P. This high-level exchange brought together influential leaders committed to strengthening innovation pathways between Austria and the UAE.
The discussions focused on deepening cooperation in artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and emerging technologies, alongside major Emirati institutions such as ADNOC Group, MBZUAI (Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence), and ADGM. Each conversation highlighted the strategic potential of aligning Austria’s innovation strengths with the UAE’s rapid technological growth and forward-looking ecosystem.
Beyond the formal meetings, this visit served as a platform to explore practical opportunities for startups, research institutions, and innovators from both regions. Austria’s highly skilled talent pool and strong academic foundations, paired with Abu Dhabi’s global positioning, investment opportunities, and future-driven policies, create powerful pathways for collaboration and growth.
For IFAVH, this synergy perfectly aligns with our mission: accelerating innovation, empowering entrepreneurship, and building bridges between global business ecosystems. The momentum generated during this visit signals a promising future where Austria and the UAE work hand-in-hand to drive impactful innovation across borders.
As these relationships continue to strengthen, IFAVH remains committed to fostering international partnerships that unlock new opportunities for founders, investors, and industry leaders worldwide. The journey ahead is bright and we are excited to help shape it.
