After two remarkable years, the time has come to bid farewell to our very first office at Science Park Graz. Reflecting on our beginnings and the incredible growth we've experienced, it feels surreal to recognize just how much has changed since we first stepped into this space back in 2021.
A Humble Start
When we arrived at Science Park Graz as wide-eyed entrepreneurs, we were filled with hope and anticipation for what the future might hold. What we didn’t know then was how pivotal this place would become for our journey. It gave us the ideal environment to cultivate our ideas, connect with other innovators, gain invaluable guidance from mentors—and build the foundation of our team.

A Bittersweet Farewell
Leaving Science Park in 2023 and saying goodbye to the incredible individuals we had the privilege of working alongside stirs mixed emotions. On one hand, we’re eager and optimistic about the opportunities ahead. On the other, parting ways with the supportive community and familiar faces we’ve grown to cherish leaves us feeling nostalgic.
We had the fortune of sharing our space with inspiring startups like Reeloq, Freyzein, Opus Novo, Factinsect, ATTA, Lanbiotic, and Clir.
A Transformative Experience
Joining Science Park Graz was one of the best decisions we made as a budding startup. The resources, guidance, and opportunities provided to us were instrumental in shaping our early growth. The collaborative atmosphere and the community of like-minded individuals fostered constant learning and inspiration.
We are deeply grateful for the insights, support, and encouragement we received throughout our journey. Special thanks go to Sigrid Weber, Katrin Krenn, Pascale Schneider, and Marko Rosic for their unwavering dedication and contributions—they have left a lasting impression on our path.
A New Chapter
As we pack up and prepare to leave this incredible chapter behind, we are filled with gratitude for everyone who was part of our Science Park experience. Whether you were a mentor who shared your expertise, a fellow entrepreneur who inspired us, or a team member who facilitated our progress, your impact has been invaluable.
You’ve probably heard the saying, “When one door closes, another opens.”
Leaving Science Park Graz isn’t the end; it’s the beginning of an exciting new phase in Luminous Labs’ journey.
Thank You
As we move forward, we’ll always carry fond memories of our time at Science Park Graz and the lessons learned along the way. Thank you to everyone who believed in us, supported us, and helped us grow.
We’re excited to continue our journey, inspired by the relationships and experiences nurtured during our time here. Here’s to new beginnings!
