AI Solution Day 03: HR and People is a hybrid event focusing on HR-tech AI solutions, taking place on October 20, 2026, at weXelerate in Vienna. The event features ten startups pitching their products, followed by intensive co-creation roundtables where corporates and startups work together on real HR challenges. It concludes with open networking drinks.

Founder brief

Who should attend

Founders building product-focused, scalable artificial intelligence solutions tailored to human resources and people challenges will gain the most from this gathering. Agencies and consultancies should look elsewhere, as the format explicitly requires software and product-driven teams seeking corporate partnerships.

What happens

Midday check-in opens at 12:00 with drinks and snacks, leading into opening remarks and ten startup presentations running five minutes each with three minutes of audience feedback. After a short break, participants enter intensive joint problem-solving roundtables split across two forty-five-minute working sessions, wrapping up with informal drinks.

Who's in the room

More than fifty corporate decision-makers paying for corporate access gather alongside over twenty-five vetted startup teams. The ecosystem hub weXelerate hosts the proceedings, with Austrian holding company ÖBAG supporting the event as a sponsor.

How to prepare

Keep your five-minute pitch deck strictly focused on concrete business value and technical readiness, ensuring you can field direct audience questions in three minutes. Come ready to roll up your sleeves for the co-creation roundtables by preparing specific examples of how your software resolves common enterprise HR bottlenecks.
