High Performance Trip to Tyrol 2026

Over two inspiring days in Innsbruck, a handpicked group of Marshall Plan Fellows had the opportunity to experience firsthand why Tyrol is one of Austria’s most dynamic innovation ecosystems!
From groundbreaking infrastructure and global business success stories to cutting-edge quantum computing, the High Performance Trip showcased the remarkable diversity of innovation shaping the future.

A sincere thank you to our exceptional hosts:

🏔️ Standortagentur Tirol for providing valuable insights into Tyrol’s thriving business, research, and innovation landscape and for helping us better understand what makes the region such a successful hub for talent and technology.

🚇 GALLERIA DI BASE DEL BRENNERO - BRENNER BASISTUNNEL BBT SE for taking us behind the scenes of one of Europe’s most ambitious infrastructure projects and demonstrating the scale, vision, and engineering excellence required to shape the future of mobility.

✨ MK Illumination Global for reminding us that innovation often starts with a simple thought: "There must be a better way." Showing how creativity, entrepreneurship, and international vision can light up cities around the world.

⚛️ ParityQC for offering fascinating insights into the future of quantum computing and demonstrating how Austrian deep-tech innovation is making a global impact.

Not least of all a heartfelt thank you to all participating Marshall Plan Fellows! Your curiosity, thoughtful questions and enthusiasm made this trip truly special.

After Upper Austria, Styria, Lower Austria and Vienna, we've now completed our fifth trip, and we're already planning number six. What do you think: Carinthia or Salzburg in 2027?
