As we wrap up the first edition of the 2C FIMH Sprint & Roadshow Series, the Twin City Future Innovation Manufacturing Hub is gearing up for the next phase under a new name: The Prototype to Industry Programme<\/strong>. We are looking for the next cohort of startups from Austria and Slovakia ready to turn their prototypes into scalable, manufacturable products.<\/p>\n

Designed for early- and mid-stage startups and innovation teams working on hardware, industrial innovation, or manufacturing-relevant technologies (TRL 3\u20136), the Prototype to Industry Programme<\/strong> helps participants sharpen their prototyping approach, validate critical development decisions, and connect with relevant industry partners across the greater Vienna-Bratislava region.<\/p>\n

Through sprint phases, hands-on prototyping support, mentoring, and direct industry exposure, selected teams receive practical input and the right connections to accelerate development and strengthen their solutions.<\/p>\n

Participants also gain free access to the accent Makerspace<\/a>, a prototyping facility in Tulln an der Donau, Austria, for the duration of the programme.<\/p>\n
