AUSTRIA Every
November for the last 17 years, Graz has turned into a hub for social innovation, entrepreneurship and European youth exchange.

WSA Young Innovators Festival, Graz
Together with the WSA community, we discuss the most challenging topics of our time -climate change, gender equality, youth employment, migration, education, democracy and fake news. Bold, multi-stakeholder and where international experts, thought-leaders, government representatives, academia and young entrepreneurs meet on a level playing field.

Welcome
Crises seem to be everywhere! Let’s solve them together! Climate crisis, energy crisis, mobility crisis, health crisis, social media crisis, a pandemic, and a war of aggression within European boarders.
One can understandably feel scared! Especially when one thinks to be powerless and helpless. But this must not be.
The
European Young Innovators Festival offers alternatives and fresh perspectives with the creative and good use of digital technologies. The Festival and the award inspire social entrepreneurship and provide a spirit of “can do” and a sense of community with “we do”. No doubt, the current crises are challenges that require decisive and joint action! And we cannot deal with all of them. But digital means do offer ways to address and even solve them – some of them. If you join the Festival in Graz, you will meet people who are not just concerned. They are young creatives and developers who work on climate protection, health improvements, education innovation, European solidarity and more.

WSA Young Innovators Festival, Graz
European Young Innovators know: We must work together for bettering the future; and the UN SDGs shall be our measure! The award winning 15 projects do this. They turn challenges into solutions and combat the crises. European Young Innovators demonstrate how, with the impact of their innovations, society can be improved. Thanks to its embeddedness in the global World Summit Awards, the European Young Innovators Festival can combine two major perspectives: first, the commitment to the UN SDGs from the perspective of globally responsible youth and secondly, the positive shaping of the future of Europe from the perspective of smart citizens.
The Festival offers engaging workshops for developing new skills. It will connect European participants with the entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem in Graz and Styria. It is a multi-stakeholder process and shows how we can contribute to unified – not split – European societies in solidarity while and because we are learning from each other. We act on our world’s most pressing issues and learn how digital content driven applications can make a difference! Digital. Purpose Driven. European. Welcome to the European Young Innovators Festival! Peter A. Bruck, WSA Chairman

Welcome Statements
I am happy to see that this Festival unites those who just refuse to stop looking for positive answers. Connecting these young and engaged Europeans in Graz encourages the creation of solutions – solutions that we need urgently. I congratulate the creative minds who are now winners of the WSA European Young Innovators Award and thank them for all these digital innovations to improve society. It is impressive to see the vast variety of applications that are being honoured: Some improve the quality of education. Others reduce inequalities and encourage the disadvantaged. The European Young Innovators started a campaign to raise awareness for violence against women as well as they foster CO2 reduction in unexpected ways or help to administer one’s digital legacy. That is inspiring indeed! Thank you to all creators of submitted products for caring about these important topics. Your solutions are valuable contributions to making the world a better place.
@Fischer
The WSA European Young Innovators Festival 2021 addresses the profound changes the ongoing pandemic has brought upon our European societies. It presents purpose driven entrepreneurs and innovators who involve themselves into solving the issues at hand.
We
live in an ever-more digitalized and connected world with automated devices and algorithms influencing our daily lives in one way or another. This development is set to continue - whether we like it or not - but it is for us to decide how we shape it. This years European Young Innovators teach us that digitalization can contribute to a more sustainable future and that young entrepreneurs create the Europe they want. They show that it is possible to turn the digital revolution we are facing into climate action. They show us that digital transformation can be shaped to ensure it supports transitions towards more sustainable societies and towards the achievement of the UN SDGs. What it takes is inventiveness and courage to walk off the beaten track. Qualities also decision makers sometimes need to be reminded of. It is wonderful to know that each year the European WSA community meets in Graz, exchanging ideas and knowledge with Austrian stakeholders, calling for action. Leonore Gewessler, Federal Minister for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology.
With
eight universities in the urban area, Graz offers an enormous range of educational opportunities. The close cooperation of science, business and culture makes Graz an international hub and a hotspot for students, innovators and creative people from all over the world. With over 291,000 residents and almost 60,000 students, Graz is the second largest university location in Austria. Graz has been the European Capital of Culture in 2003 and has been rewarded the title of a UNESCO world heritage site in 1999 for its harmonious blend of styles wich range from the Middle Ages to contemporary architecture. In 2000, Graz has become Europe’s first city of human rights. There is no better place than Graz for hosting you as winning teams and the European Young Innovators Festival. The city’s council and our municipal government are committed to reducing our CO2 footprint in a sustainable and inclusive way. To achieve this goal we need to focus on collaboration and solidarity, think about new and innovative solutions and seek collaboration. We need young entrepreneurs like you who shape the future. It is our pleasure to welcoming you in Graz at this festival and I wish you meaningful connections, conversations that turn into collaboration and a sustainable exchange of knowledge with people from Graz and all across Europe.
As
Regional Minister for Economy, Science and Research I am very pleased that Graz is once again the venue for young social entrepreneurs. Styria offers the perfect setting for such conferences. With nine universities and a high number of research facilities our country is an international hub of research and knowledge. With a research and development quota of more than five percent we are the innovation leader in Austria and one of the leading regions in Europe. The main factor of success are the innovative companies and researchers in our country. I would especially like to thank the initiators who make a safe festival in the Styrian capital possible. It is also significant that interested people from anywhere in the world still have the opportunity to join the festival online. I am convinced that only together we can find answers to the big questions of our time. Innovative ideas and digital technologies will be the key to a successful and liveable future. I wish you all an interesting festival full of thrilling discussions and new inspirations. Barbara Eibinger-Miedl Regional Minister for Economy, Science and Research

Greetings from the festival partners in Graz
Christa Kloibhofer-Krampl
Bernhard Puttinger,
Marketing Manager Next Incubator
CEO Green Tech Cluster
The next-incubator is an innovation hub for sustainability. We are a small but motivated team when it comes to shaping the future. Our future and the future of the next generation. Graz with its many universities, research institutions and innovative individuals offers countless possibilities of working together with people that are determined and inspirational. We should all be aiming to work together on battling the biggest crises we have ever faced as human beings. Graz is the perfect city for the EYI festival because: …it is my hometown so I find it perfect for obvious reasons, but of course with all our universities and organizations that support people with ideas, especially green ideas - I find it a perfect match!
In any case, pay attention to this when you visit Graz for the first time: Graz has a very southern, some say Italian, flair and I recommend to just rent yourself a bike and explore the old-town, ride alongside the Mur and visit one of our many Cafés.
My insider tip: You should definitely visit the zero-waste store “Das Gram”m. It is not only a very pretty store, but the owner also knows a lot about zero-waste - talk to her and get inspired. I totally recommend a visit at the farmers market at Lendplatz on Saturdays. There are plenty cafés and small shops that are fun to spending time at.
Graz is the perfect city for the EYI festival because: Graz is the best place to think about and shape the future of the world. Graz is the perfect combination of innovation and tradition.

climate protection business. There is a large community and network, that operates on international base and is open to connect with-likeminded people. In any case, pay attention to this when you visit Graz for the first time: When visiting Graz for the first time, you should go up the Schlossberg but do not get confused by the clock hands. The tallest underground slide in the world is definitely the best way down.
My insider tip: The Science Tower in the Smart City Graz is a nice place with a beautiful roof garden plus its innovative solar collectors circling around the tower, the sun brings enough energy to our offices.
Bernhard Weber, Managing Director
FH-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. mont. Michael Terler, Innovationmanagement, FH Campus02 Graz has over 40,000 students who shape the image and DNA of the city. Young people are present throughout the town. And it is precisely these young people who are called upon to think about the future and make the world a better place. That is why Graz is the ideal place for a festival like this. Let’s form the future together!”
The ecosystem Green Tech Valley, which is located in the south of Austria, is internationally regarded as the hotspot for climate and circular solutions. Graz is the centre of the valley, where a lot of young people are involved in the development of innovative solutions for a greener future. The Green Tech Cluster encourages the brilliant ideas of the young minds. During the Green Tech Summer Graz program, for example, students from all over Austria are being supported in growing their own climate-startup. The Green Tech Hub is a startup centre that is located in Graz Science Tower then serves as the ideal place for the implementation. Graz is the perfect city for the EYI festival because: Graz is the perfect city for the European Young Innovators Festival festival because it serves as a hub for young people, who are interested in the development of their own

In any case, pay attention to this when you visit Graz for the first time: Walk through the city and enjoy the beauty and the southern flair.
My insider tip: The open-air cinema at the Island in the Mur.
Every Year I am surprised and happy about the energy and the creativity of the young innovators joining the European Young Innovators Festival from all over Europe. And every year it makes me sure that we see the real future of Europe within this group of people joining here and working like hell to realize their dreams. So (besides its real fun :) it is my duty to help them to connect with the ecosystem in Styria whether it’s the science community or the startup ecosystem in the so called “Startupmark”. And for sure, we have a lot of opportunities for young innovators here.
Graz is the perfect city for the EYI festival because: …Graz is full of inspired, young innovators. So it’s nearly impossible to NOT find likeminded people. In any case, pay attention to this when you visit Graz for the first time: Walk up the Schlossberg by stairs and take a view over the city.
My insider tip: Standl 5 (Main Square), get a “Käsekrainer” with fresh bread and potato salad with pumpkinseed oil (and a Beer) there, it’s the perfect starter into a night out in Graz.

Univ.-Prof. Dr. Josef Smolle, Institute for Medical Informatics, Statistics and Documentation Science and technology in medicine Graz, the capital of the province of Styria, is the place to be whenever you deal with research and technology. Styria shows a research&development quota of 5.17%– one of the highest values among about 270 European regions. On one hand, this is due to five universities, two universities of applied sciences, and two colleges of education, constituting the Science Space Styria. On the other hand, industry and small and medium enterprises are responsible for about ¾ of the research activities, often in close cooperation with academia, together providing excellent conditions for young, creative and innovative people.
Graz is the perfect city for the EYI Festival because: … because it is a European hotspot of research and development.
In any case, pay attention to this when you visit Graz for the first time: The Medical University of Graz is one of the top 200 universities of the Times Higher Education Ranking, where about 1 Billion Euros has been invested in clinical and research infrastructure during the last decade. . My insider tip: Visit the Schlossberg and enjoy a great view on one of the loveliest and most dynamic cities of Europe!
Martin Mössler, Managing Director Science Park Graz | Esa Space Solutions Centre Austria General Manager „From Graz into space and back again“ Can space-tech and everyday life go hand in hand!

Innovation and Startup Services, City of Graz Graz: lively, historical, sociable, dynamic, research-driven, a university environment, and located in the heart of Europe. Our city has many faces. As the second-largest city in Austria, Graz is an ideal size, characterized by a constantly growing and well-connected startup community in which you can meet key players quickly and gain a foothold. As a university city, with almost every fifth person being a student, Graz is also young and creative. This is reflected in the startup landscape, which is shaped by spinoffs from universities, nonprofit organizations run by (former) students and numerous initiatives. The community is operating next to industry giants and international leading companies. These combined skills and cooperation opportunities shape the contradiction in which innovation can flourish.

Barbara Nußmüller Creative Industries Styria, Assistant Manager
Eberhard Schrempf Creative Industries Styria, Managing Director Graz is the perfect city for the EYI Festival because: Graz is a young city! More than 50,000 students study at various universities in Graz adding diversity, colorfulness and joie de vivre to the city. Graz is also a breeding ground for young entrepreneurs and startups from all fields. How come? Graz and Styria in general are extremely thirsty for knowledge and active in innovation. With an R&D rate of 5.15%, Styria is the most innovative state of Austria and one of the top regions for innovation in Europe. A lot of these developments start right here, in the state capital. And last but not least: Graz is a UNESCO City of Design – and passionately so!
Johanna Pirker Graz University of Technology Institute of Interactive Systems and Data Science Graz, a Gaming City Video games still face so many prejudices, but in reality they are just as multifaceted as other media such as film or books. They form an interface for culture, art, technology and innovation. At the university, but also with the Game Dev Days in Graz, we highlight the positive impact of games – in society, for education and try to bring more international talent to Graz. Video games combine all the elements of the future and teach people to make decisions or develop empathy that they can benefit from in real life. The European Young Innovators Festival, focusing on innovation, technology, content and social impact, is a great complement to 14
WSA Young Innovators Festival, Graz
When visiting Graz, you simply have to ... ... stroll around the old town! Don’t hurry, just take your time, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy. The old town of Graz is, after all, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You don’t get to see something like that every day: medieval alleys, beautiful squares and a breath-taking roof landscape – be sure to take a look from the Schlossberg. Or is contemporary architecture more your thing? – We have plenty of that as well. The Kunsthaus museum, for example, and of course the Isle in the Mur. Speaking of the Mur: The river Mur has shaped the city with its riverwalks and relaxation zones.
My insider tip: ... definitely the Lend district! It is the place to be to enjoy a lively nightlife, excellent food and drinks, creative shops and stores and the urban lifestyle of Graz. And if you still have leftover energy, why not climb the Schlossberg and visit Aiola Upstairs for a stunning panorama view of the city. By the way, the slide through the mountain is the quickest way down ...
the Game Dev Days in Graz, which focus on similar areas with different forms of expression. I hope that together we can foster European collaboration and make the gaming and startup scene more equitable, diverse and content-driven. Graz is the perfect city for the EYI Festival because: With its universities and different festivals (Game Dev Days, Fifteen Seconds, Elevate,…) a lot of international, open minded and creative innovation takes place. In any case, pay attention to this when you visit Graz for the first time: Probably many tips have already been given for Graz itself. I myself love the possibilities for experiences in nature in or around Graz. So why not round off a visit to Graz with a relaxing hike in the mountains around Graz (“Grazer Bergland”).

Sustainable Development Goals The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a collection of 17 global goals designed to be a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all”. The SDGs, set in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly and intended to be achieved by the year 2030, are part of UN Resolution 70/1, the 2030 Agenda.

WSA Young Innovators Festival, Graz
2030 Agenda for Sustainable De velopment, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path. As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge that no one will be left behind. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets which we are announcing today demonstrate the scale and ambition of this new universal Agenda. They seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete what these did not achieve. They seek to realize the human rights of all and to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. They are integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and environmental.
The SDGs build on decades of work by countries and the UN, including the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs
The Goals and targets will stimulate action over the next fifteen years in areas of critical importance for humanity and the planet:
Preamble This Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom. We recognise that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development. All countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership, will implement this plan. We are resolved to free the human race from the tyranny of poverty and want and to heal and secure our planet. We are determined to take the bold and transformative
People We are determined to end poverty and hunger, in all their forms and dimensions, and to ensure that all human beings can fulfil their potential in dignity and equality and in a healthy environment. Planet We are determined to protect the planet from degradation, including through sustainable consumption and production, sustainably managing its natural resources and taking urgent action on climate change, so that it can support the needs of the present and future generations.
Prosperity We are determined to ensure that all human beings can enjoy prosperous and fulfilling lives and that economic, social and technological progress occurs in harmony with nature. Peace We are determined to foster peaceful, just and inclusive societies which are free from fear and violence. There can be no sustainable development without peace and no peace without sustainable development. Partnership We are determined to mobilize the means required to implement this Agenda through a revitalised Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, based on a spirit of strengthened global solidarity, focussed in particular on the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable and with the participation of all countries, all stakeholders and all people. The interlinkages and integrated nature of the Sustainable Development Goals are of crucial importance in ensuring that the purpose of the new Agenda is realised. If we realize our ambitions across the full extent of the Agenda, the lives of all will be profoundly improved and our world will be transformed for the better.

Sadly, as of November 11, 2021, 24 femicides have been counted in Austria.

About WSA
Digital
Innovation has brought about rapid advancement, transforming the way societies function. Especially during the global pandemic digital innovation offered support and new solutions.
More than ever, the challenge is and remains worldwide to bridge global divides and to work on reaching the UN SDGs. Be it the global pandemic and new solutions for remote working, digital health and online education, or gender inequality, environmental challenges and the access to information and infrastructure. The global divides are manifold and affect us all. Reflecting the changes caused by the pandemic, with new economic challenges, or the case of climate crisis and global warming, we see that the divides grow nationally and worldwide. It is high time to act now and connect4impact!
