STARTUP CAMP 2026 in Heutal

From 8 to 10 May 2026, founders, experts and creative minds will gather in Heutal, Austria, for the cross-border STARTUP CAMP 2026. The event is designed to help early-stage companies and aspiring founders develop their business ideas and connect with experienced professionals from various disciplines.

On Saturday, 9 May 2026, Maiwald will be represented by Vinzenz Brauneck. As a patent specialist, he will advise participating start-ups on protecting technical innovations, building an initial IP strategy and avoiding common pitfalls in patent law.

Over the course of the camp, teams will work on business models, market potential and prototypes, refine their pitches and receive targeted feedback – all against the inspiring backdrop of the Alps.

We are pleased that Vinzenz will contribute his patent law expertise and support the start-ups in considering the protection and strategic use of their innovations from the very beginning.
