The Spirit of Linz
The path to the top of the world measures 1.8 kilometres, just over a mile. A path that no one should walk alone.
THAT'S WHY WE FOCUS ON WORKING TOGETHER INSTEAD OF ALONE. IT IS PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS, FRIENDSHIPS AND JOINT PROJECTS, BEYOND COMPANY BOUNDARIES, THAT FUEL THE DIGITAL MILE. BE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY IN LINZ, WHICH IS DRIVEN BY INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY AS MUCH AS BY SOCIAL INTERACTION.
