The Innsbruck region is characterised above all by its unique blend of urban surroundings and Alpine nature. Hardly any other destination offers such a direct combination of professional conference facilities and international accessibility against a high-alpine backdrop. With the Congress Messe Innsbruck, one of Austria’s most modern event venues is available right in the heart of the city – complete with short distances and immediate access to nature. This is complemented by strong links between business and academia: as the home of the University of Innsbruck and internationally networked research institutions, the region is particularly attractive for congresses and specialist events.
