As Chief Intrapreneur at RLB Steiermark, he is dedicated to driving the region’s innovation ecosystem by providing capital, financial advice, and access to the bank’s accelerator program, Hummelnest. Through these efforts, Hannes aims to support startups, fintechs, universities, corporates, and investors in building successful co-innovation partnerships.

Hannes embraces the philosophy behind ZukunftsBauer (Builder of the Future), viewing himself as a cultivator of new ideas, much like a farmer nurturing the foundations for a sustainable future. He is deeply committed to fostering growth in the startup community, helping ideas and companies flourish by offering networking contacts and financial expertise, with a particular focus on capital markets.

Outside of his work at RLB Steiermark, Hannes Meixner spends much of his time at Hummelnest, an energetic and entrepreneurial accelerator, where he thrives in a collaborative environment full of creativity and innovation. He is always eager to learn and grow by connecting with like-minded individuals who share his passion for building the future.
