PROFESSIONAL BREAKFAST

As part of the collaboration with EIT – Culture and Creativity, the first Professional Breakfast was held during the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK. With this new format, EIT and the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK built a bridge between two communities that have much to gain from one another: designers and business decision-makers.

In a relaxed breakfast atmosphere, supported by dynamic inputs, space was created for visionary exchange, fresh perspectives, and new networks. The goal of bringing the creative and business worlds closer together and fostering mutual understanding was successfully achieved, laying the foundation for future collaborations.

During an exclusive morning session, experts from various fields and industries came together in a compact and informal setting. Designers and business representatives exchanged insights and best-practice examples. Participants enjoyed a shared breakfast, inspiring keynotes, several impulse talks, and the opportunity to connect more closely through 1-on-1 “Flash Mentoring Sessions with Experts.”

Laura Karasinski (AD100, Design Director),
Maimuna Mosser (Country Director, Google Austria),
