Three days of applied creativity in design, science, business, society, and the arts. Mostly free and open to the public. An invitation to everyone to find answers about the future of human ideas. Your own.
Encounters, attitudes, dissent, imagination, and the ability to develop new ideas together: Human creativity and the convergence of innovative perspectives are likely more important today than ever before. And that is exactly why the Fö N Festival exists.
Its third edition is not a traditional conference. Nor is it a hype-driven show about the future. It is a festival for creative exchange, lively debate, fresh perspectives, and genuine encounters—bringing together science, business, technology, design, and art.
For three days, St. Bartlmä in Innsbruck will become a venue for talks, concerts, workshops, and performances. And above all: for moments that will stay with you.
International voices. Unique experiences. And formats that don’t really fit into any category. And that’s just the way it should be.
From the festival opening featuring Scientist of the Year Francesca Ferlaino, astrophysicist, science journalist, and TV host Harald Lesch, and actor Rainer Bock, to designer Jian Ping He, Monobrother, Woschdog, workshops, and a Live-Music Sunrise Breakfast: The Fö N Festival combines intellectual space with a festival atmosphere, science with art, big questions with surprising encounters. – Not everything fits into a single category, but that’s exactly how it should be.
Thursday. Friday. Saturday. Three days, each with its own narrative arc.
The Fö N Festival is not just a string of events, but a curated journey through various forms of creative engagement: talks, discussions, workshops, interventions, walks, music, literature, theater, dance, performances, and collaborative projects come together to create a festival where you don’t just watch—you become part of it. – Discover the full program here and find your personal highlights.
Free access. But not unlimited.
Thanks to the support of the Tyrolean creative industries, most of the programs at the Fö N Festival are free of charge. Some take place on the main stage, while other events are intentionally kept small, open, and intimate. – And one thing applies to all of them: seating is limited. That’s why it’s important to reserve your spot in advance.
