Stories you cannot get in a hall
Founders pitching to investors on a riding ski lift, keynotes on the sun terrace, deals over lunch in a hut. The setting is the story, and it photographs well.
Participate
Media at SKInnovation
Three days of founders, investors and keynotes at 2,340 m, and none of it happens in a hall. If you write, film, record or post about startups, this is a story worth the ride up.
Direct access
Speakers, investors and 150+ pre-screened startups on one mountain. We arrange interviews on request and point you to the people who fit your angle.
Accreditation and media partnerships
Accredited journalists and creators can request a media pass. Outlets that want more than a pass get a media partnership with visibility across our channels.

From the mountain, 2,340 m
What you can cover
Three days, one mountain, more angles than fit into one piece.
The Ski Lift Pitch
Founders pitch to investors on a riding ski lift: the Funding Pitch in the gondola, the Visibility Pitch on the Olympiabahn. Nowhere else does a pitch look like this.
Keynotes and panels at 2,340 m
International speakers on stage in the huts and on the sun terrace of Axamer Lizum, with the Tyrolean peaks as the backdrop.
Founders, investors and corporates in one place
150+ pre-screened startups, active investors and corporate innovation teams share the same lifts and lunch tables for three days. Access that normally takes weeks of emails.
The Startup Exhibition
Early-stage teams show what they build, from hardware to software, in a hut instead of a trade-show hall.
Apres-ski, side events and the people behind it
The evenings, the Sundowner on the Hoadl, the volunteer crew and the team that runs a conference on skis. Plenty of behind-the-scenes material.
Innsbruck and the Alpine startup scene
SKInnovation grew out of the Innsbruck ecosystem. If your angle is the region, we connect you with the people who shape it.
Something else in mind?
A live podcast on the lift, a video series from the huts, a format nobody has tried at 2,340 m yet. We are open to new ideas that fit a conference on skis. Pitch it to us.
