What a pleasure. We recently received the CourageMaker Award from the Tiroler Tageszeitung. The business prize was awarded in four categories. Our parent company Infotainment Tirol GmbH came out on top in the “New Start” category and was recognized by the jury.

High tension at the award ceremony

Almost 80 people gathered in the foyer of the Tiroler Tageszeitung. The tension was palpable in the light-flooded atrium. Twelve nominees, jury members, sponsors and representatives of the media company waited eagerly for the winners to be announced.

Immediately after the short break, which Anton “Toni” Innauer enriched with a short keynote speech, the time had finally come. EXPERIENCE TIROL was invited on stage together with two other nominated projects. A brief moment of tension, a few photos and the winner was announced.

Why does it take courage?

Since that moment, we can officially call ourselves MutMacher 2025. A title that we are truly happy to accept. It takes courage, especially in challenging times like these. Courage to admit to yourself when the general situation becomes too much. But also the courage to move forward, look positively into the future and dare to try something new.

We want to embody all of this with EXPERIENCE TIROL. Our show should encourage people. To encourage people to take a closer look. What makes this country, its people and customs so special? What does life in the mountains mean? To encourage people to dare to do something and to start planning an immersive, multimedia attraction during the coronavirus pandemic. To encourage people to think outside the box and experience an unforgettable hour together.

Lessons from the podcast

But EXPERIENCE TIROL – The Podcast is also intended to encourage people. Because when you look into the past, you often see dark times. But dark chapters have always been followed by bright and shining events. Challenging situations require creativity, perseverance, a sense of community and courage. And it is precisely this mixture that often results in the most beautiful things.

For this very reason, we are incredibly happy to have won this award. Because we really like being courage makers.

STASTO also wins

We are particularly pleased that we were able to accept the award together with our main shareholder STASTO. The Innsbruck-based company, which has relied on the co-entrepreneur model since 1993, was honored in the employee development category.
