First evening of the Fuckup Nights: Failures as opportunities in East Tyrol

in Lienz took place on Wednesday, October 9th. The first event of the "Fuckup Nights" in East Tyrol, organized by Innos GmbH in cooperation with the young economy and woman in the economy, moved many interested parties into the premises of Durst Austria GmbH. A movement that has gained awareness worldwide encouraged the audience not to hide failures, but to speak openly and to consider them as valuable learning experiences.

The main actors of the evening, the entrepreneurs Frank Hess, Daniel Kühbacher and Elke Jung, shared their personal stories about failed projects and challenges in business life. It became clear: mistakes are part of life and can serve as a springboard for new things. This new perspective on the failure is promoted by the Fuckup Nights and ends with a fresh approach with the stigmatization of failures.

inspiring stories of failure and new beginning

Frank Hess reported on a failed personnel billing that led to a lengthy dispute with the works council. Ultimately, this mistake became so important that it even resulted in changes in the collective agreement. Daniel Kühbacher reflected on his adventures with a startup, whose self-made bicycle tracker ultimately failed despite an ambitious goals because the team could not raise the necessary perseverance.

Elke Jung brought a breath of fresh air to the Tyrolean start-up scene with its innovative strap. Despite her commitment and courage to found a company, she found that she was missing the "entrepreneurial gene" and ultimately gave up her business. These experiences illustrate that failure does not mean the end, but often the beginning of something new can be. The audience was encouraged to learn from negative experiences and to seek constructive solutions.

"failure is suitable as a challenge and not an expression of deficiency. It offers the opportunity to develop further," said Bettina Wenko, the initiator and moderator of the event. She emphasizes that we can all identify with mistakes and that a positive error culture is decisive in order to develop personally and business.

Johanna Schachner from Innos GmbH added that interest in the Fuckup Nights in East Tyrol exceeded expectations. "The more people we reach with our stories, the greater the chance to change the mindset in terms of a positive error culture," she noted. Such events are not only a platform for entrepreneurs to share their failures, but also an opportunity for everyone present to think about their own use of mistakes.

This event not only brings an important message for start-ups, but for everyone who is in professional life: failures are not FIN in the world, but steps on the way to success. The Fuckup Nights in Lienz show how liberating and motivating it can be to talk about mistakes and learn from it. The evening offered an inspiring environment in which the audience had the opportunity to learn from the stories of his speakers and to leave their own fears behind. Such initiatives are crucial to change the way of thinking and to accept failure as part of life.
