Film Screening: “Purpose – A Wellbeing Economies Film”
Join us at Climate Lab for a community screening of “Purpose – A Wellbeing Economies Film.”
‘Purpose’ poses the central question of our time: What is the purpose and goal of our economic systems … and how can we change that? The documentary film follows two people who are developing groundbreaking political projects to shift the focus of our economic systems—away from pure GDP growth and towards the well-being of people and the planet. Popcorn in hand, we’ll then be joined by Florian Wagner from ECOnGOOD Austria (Gemeinwohl-Ökonomie Österreich / Economy for the Common Good), who will provide local context on how the film’s themes connect to Austria’s own well-being economy initiatives and movement for systemic change.
Entrance is free of charge, with donations welcome at the event to support the producers of the film.
Limited spots available, so please book your ticket early!

Organizer
Climate Lab is a climate innovation center based in Vienna, Austria.
At Climate Lab, we believe in the power of collaboration. By forming innovative, cross-sectoral alliances and optimizing shared resources, we strive to accelerate Austria’s path to achieving its goals for climate neutrality and a circular economy. Our focus is on the sectors with the highest potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions: energy, mobility, construction and the circular economy. Through diverse projects and events, we bring together leading companies, public institutions, start-ups, academia and civil society to initiate and accelerate innovative solutions. The challenges are great—we must collaborate like never before.
Our Approach: Breaking Down Silos
We design our projects and events to facilitate encounters, discussion and collaboration between actors from diverse sectors and industries. By breaking out of their silos, stakeholders are pushed to develop a more comprehensive understanding of their challenges and to drive innovation that has meaningful impact.
Our Projects: Innovative & Solutions-Oriented
We work with partners from the public and private sectors on multi-stakeholder projects that prioritize action and the accelerated implementation of solutions. Current projects include circularity for mattresses, textiles and furniture, green jobs, circular building materials, industrial uses for H2 and alternative energy.
Our Community: Stronger Together
We bring start-ups, companies, NGOs and other climate innovators together into a vibrant community focused on innovation, mutual support and opportunities for growth. We support our community with a sustainably designed co-working space as well as various events for networking and building knowledge.
Climate Lab opened its doors in Vienna-Spittelau in September 2022. We are powered by a growing alliance of partners, including the Austrian Climate and Energy Fund, BMLUK, Wien Energie, the Vienna Business Agency, Impact Hub Vienna, Wiener Linien, Holcim, Siemens Energy, waff and BIG.
