Throwback to our experience at the BFC Future Expo! Last week, our team at the Carinthian Welcome Center was thrilled to be part of this innovative event, showcasing the best of Carinthia's international community.

This year, the International Corner was introduced and offered a program that showcased the work of leading international institutions in Carinthia. The Carinthian Welcome Center played a vital role in shaping the international corner besides partnering organizations such as the Carinthian International Center, FH Kärnten - Carinthia University of Applied Sciences (CUAS), Universität Klagenfurt, Invest in Klagenfurt and TEDxKlagenfurt. Special thanks to ISC International School Carinthia for co-hosting and to Nastaran Behravan from Silicon Austria Labs and Alexander Gärntner from AMS Kärnten for participating in such informative talks.

We connected with like-minded individuals, learned from experts, and shared our knowledge with a diverse group of attendees. We're already looking forward to the next expo and the opportunities it will bring!
