An increasing number of companies are embracing live communication as a strategic tool to meet their core objectives. The Festspielhaus Bregenz has firmly positioned itself, well beyond the Lake Constance region, as a premier event venue for corporate gatherings, offering professional consultation and hands-on support to clients in delivering impactful and purpose-driven events.This is precisely where the newly introduced Business Meeting Fund Vorarlberg 2025 comes into play: Since 1 January 2025, Convention Partner Vorarlberg has been offering targeted funding to organisers of business meetings scheduled to take place in Vorarlberg between January and December 2025. The initiative prioritises sustainable practices, regional partnerships, and forward-thinking event formats.

Business Meetings as Drivers of Corporate Success

Business meetings provide valuable opportunities for meaningful face-to-face engagement, fostering long-term team cohesion and collaboration. They also serve as incubators for innovation and cross-functional problem-solving. Beyond internal benefits, well-executed corporate events play a pivotal role in client engagement. Emotionally compelling experiences effectively convey brand values, create lasting impressions, and strengthen relationships with both existing and prospective clients.

Sustainability and Regional Synergy as Key Funding Criteria

The Business Meeting Fund Vorarlberg 2025 is open to event organisers whose business meetings take place within Vorarlberg between 1 January and 31 December 2025. To qualify, events must host a minimum of 60 on-site participants, take place at a venue in Vorarlberg, and have a duration of at least four hours.

The fund is anchored in three strategic objectives:

  • Supporting sustainable event planning through hands-on, practice-oriented guidance.
  • Reinforcing regional collaboration to leverage local synergies and stimulate regional economic value.
  • Encouraging co-creative event development to craft innovative and engaging formats that resonate with participants.

The amount of financial support awarded is determined by a detailed points-based system, which rewards the implementation of sustainability measures. Points can be accumulated, for instance, through collaboration with local service providers, use of environmentally certified venues such as the Festspielhaus, and the integration of interactive engagement formats.

For organisers, the Business Meeting Fund Vorarlberg 2025 represents more than just financial assistance - it is an opportunity to reimagine and elevate their event concepts.

Comprehensive information regarding eligibility, the scoring model, and the application process can be obtained directly from Convention Partner Vorarlberg.
