Softwarepark Hagenberg is full of brilliant people who rarely cross paths.

This is where they meet.

What IACH is

A non-profit, volunteer-run club where students, researchers, founders and employees of the Softwarepark — and the people of Hagenberg — actually meet each other.

We have a space in the IT-Center that's open around the clock: not only for events, but to drop in, work, study, meet colleagues, or do nothing in particular. No single institution is at the centre of it. Everyone is part of it.

Know-how moves between companies, institutions and disciplines here — between research, industry, students and founders — and it moves for free. Every conversation is a chance to learn something you couldn't have googled.

The actual offer

Become active yourself.

The best events start with one person having an idea. Run a workshop or a talk. Host a cooking evening from your home country. Organise a hike, a game night, the next public viewing.

You bring and run the idea. We help with space, people and budget.
