What is the Fö N Festival?
Fö N is a “creative festival against gravity”. We have set ourselves the goal of presenting the important topic of “creativity” as a public issue – beyond superficial clichés. We want to create a stage for creative, committed people who see the transformative power of better ideas as an important anchor for the future. And we want to help initiate a “creative ecosystem” for a better future.
Who is behind the Fö N?
The driving force behind the festival is “Fö N. Verein zur Förderung von Kreativität”. Founded by Tom Jank and Kurt Höretzeder, we are happy to welcome contributors and supporters from all over the world. The organization is in the hands of Daniel Dlouhy and his team. The festival is requested and commissioned as an impulse for ideas and innovation by the advertising and market communication section of the WK Tirol and the “kreativland.tirol” cluster in the Standortagentur Tirol.
Who are we doing the Fö N Festival for?
This festival is not just for “die-hard creatives”, but for everyone who considers this topic to be forward-looking for their industry and their company. From individual entrepreneurs and SMEs to industrialists. From carpenters and hoteliers to retailers, politicians, farmers, avalanche experts and teachers, to weather-sensitive people, master painters, logisticians and – especially – for you: Because you too are convinced that other, better ideas are needed. In your company, your workplace, near and far, on a large and small scale. And especially in Tyrol.
Where and when will the next Fö N take place?
The third edition of the FÖ N Creative Festival will take place from September 24 to 26, 2026 in the St. Bartlmä industrial and cultural area in Innsbruck. The former site of a foundry in the south of the Tyrolean capital is ideal for the third edition of the festival: perfectly connected to public transport and with plenty of room for new ideas: because more than ever, that’s exactly what the FÖ N is set to become: A festival of creative thinking, a breeding ground for good ideas and forward-looking approaches and options for action. There will also be brain food and soul food, so you can look forward to a breath of fresh air and fresh beats.
