Following the successful completion of the pop-up store and “small” pilot at Herrengasse 10 in Graz

in September 2024, the journey towards the “House of Future” continued with a „Future Breakfast“ in

October and a „Vision & Mission Workshop“ in December 2024.

The “House of the Future” is a joint project involving many stakeholders from politics, administration,

business, science and civil society in Graz.

The Future Breakfast on October 23rd, 2024 was a further step in opening up the project and invited

interested co-thinkers and co-designers to get involved in the planning and implementation. The 23

participants worked on the content concept, business model & financing, location and users at

themed tables.

The „Vision & Mission Workshop“ on December 13th, 2024 with an expanded core team of 9

institutions focused on needs, people, partners as well as interventions and future results of the

“Haus der Zukunft”

. The “House of Future” is intended to create the future through joyful cooperation

and radical transformation! To this end, it offers space to shape a positive future together.

The focus for 2025 is on finding suitable locations. Ongoing discussions are currently being held with

owners of vacant city centre retail space.
