Junior Achievement’s global network puts young innovation where it belongs: on the stage

At this year’s Junior Achievement Austria Junior Marketplace Vienna 2026 on March 15, 2026 in the Millennium City in Vienna, Austria, students from all over Europe presented their business ideas – from sustainable products to smart technological solutions. The energy and diversity on site impressively demonstrated the potential of the next generation. The award went to SmartServe from HTL Vöcklabruck – a sophisticated service system that makes catering businesses more efficient and makes everyday work noticeably easier.

On April 28, the Tradefair of Junior Achievement Slovakia took place in Bratislava, Slovakia. In the face of strong competition from around 30 student companies, the jury evaluated ideas, innovative strength and the ability to turn an idea into a functioning company. The winners were Lipigo, Blooma, Voix.

LOMINO, Seekpoint , EMDO sind auch weit mit ihren Ideen gekommen.

The Twin City Future Innovation Manufacturing Hub project was also on site in Vienna and Bratislava. One of the aims of the project is to support and develop talent and skills for the future.
