The Innovators Zone is the dedicated startup area within Enlit Europe, the energy conference held in Vienna.
It is open to early-stage energy-tech startups. Participants get booth space on the show floor plus investor matchmaking arranged around the event, and no equity is taken in exchange. There is no cash award attached, so the value lies in exposure and introductions.
The 2026 edition runs 10-12 November in Vienna. Applications are taken on a rolling basis and no closing date has been published.
