War for AI Talent
The hub's flagship event on the AI labour market: 200+ attendees at the JKU LIT Open Innovation Center, with speakers from Google Austria, Microsoft Austria, AWS Austria, NXAI, Dynatrace, McKinsey, PwC, Impact AI, Syntactiq and Nineteen Twenty-One.
The question
Who actually gets hired into AI roles in Austria, what those employers screen for, and what that means for students deciding what to build now.
Who spoke
Big tech (Google Austria, Microsoft Austria, AWS Austria), research and deep tech (NXAI, with Sepp Hochreiter), industry (Dynatrace, Impact AI, Syntactiq, Nineteen Twenty-One) and consulting (McKinsey, PwC) — deliberately across the hiring spectrum rather than one segment.
Why it is a flagship
It is the format where the hub's three jobs meet: connecting Linz talent to the employer side, building a realistic picture of the market, and representing the youth position in that conversation.
