Partner FAQ

When and where is SKInnovation 2027?

On 10-12 March 2027. The kick-off is in Innsbruck, followed by two full days on the slopes of Axamer Lizum, with the Hoadlhaus at 2,340 m as the main location.

Who will we meet?

900+ participants: 150+ startups, 100+ investors, around 70 corporates and the people who build the ecosystem. Every ticket application is reviewed, so the room stays curated.

What does a partnership cost?

Partner packages start at €5,000. Expert Partner, for scaleups, SMEs, law firms and consultancies that bring expertise rather than a logo, starts at €2,500 all inclusive. The Partner Deck shows every format with its starting price.

What is included in every partnership?

The Partner Base: two tickets incl. ski pass, access to the Corporate Lunch, your logo on screens and event materials, a listing on the website and in the event app, an announcement in the newsletter, your own post on LinkedIn and Instagram, a report after the event and personal onboarding.

How does it work after we request the deck?

Valentin reviews your request and sends the deck within one working day, with your track already open. In the deck you mark what interests you, then we shape the package with you in a short call.

Can we partner without a cash budget?

Yes. Supporters contribute their product or service, community partners and media bring reach, and delegations bring a group. See the ways to get involved further down this page.

When should we decide?

Every Special goes to one partner only and many are already booked. The earlier you talk to us, the more formats and Specials are still open.
