MutHof – Horses. Courage. Togetherness.
This is where relationship-building begins on four hooves. Where words fall short, horses speak – honestly, quietly, and with clarity. Young people struggling with social anxiety discover trust, feel their inner strength, and dare to take a step into life. Through subsequent mentoring, they are gently guided back into social life – step by step, hoof by hoof, new courage grows here..
„Learning from such profound experience, knowledge, and dedication is truly a gift. The insights provided by the experts at the Social Business Hub Styria give MutHof direction, depth, and the courage to move forward – step by step, hoof by hoof.“

Gesundheitskompass (Health Compass)
Whether you’re a health enthusiast, a single parent with a sick child at home, a stressed business professional with limited time, a traveller abroad, or a senior requiring multiple medications – we all experience situations where reliable, swift, and personalised pharmaceutical advice is essential. However, time constraints or the lack of access to a pharmacy often pose challenges.
The Health Compass connects local pharmacies with the people who need them. It offers appointment bookings, online video consultations, and temperature-controlled delivery services from your local pharmacy. Through our digital solutions, we strengthen regional pharmacies and enhance healthcare provision, while making high-quality, personalised consultations from Austrian pharmacists universally accessible, regardless of location.
“As a pharmacist, it is important to me that we safeguard the regional value of local Austrian pharmacies, collaborate more closely with other healthcare professions, and harness digitalisation for the benefit of patients. This allows us to provide the population with better access to health prevention and medical care. I am delighted to continue working on my vision within the Health Compass as part of the SBH Incubation programme.” — Birgit Reisenhofer, Co-Founder
“I am thrilled that my start-up has been accepted into the Social Business Hub Styria Incubation programme. As a doctor of biotechnology and economist, I am passionate about promoting patient-centred counselling and strengthening local pharmacies through the Health Compass. The opportunity for coaching, mentoring, and a strong network means a great deal to me – thank you for this opportunity!” — Markus Siebenhaar, Co-Founder

AITARK
AITARK is the one-stop platform for all sustainability stakeholders – a scalable AI SaaS that brings SMEs and consultancies together in a shared environment. It is based on user-friendly data management software in which the data points determine the respective use case. It currently covers the voluntary VSME sustainability standard for SMEs and the corporate carbon footprint (Scope 1-3; Scope 1/2 fully automated, Scope 3 semi-automated). Further standards and use cases are continuously being added or can be generated by AI if required.
As a single source of truth for sustainability data, AITARK supports teams in managing, analysing and automatically creating measures – and reduces the reporting effort by up to 60%. This leaves more time for strategy and effective implementation.
“The SBHS Incubation programme gives us access to valuable know-how and networking, allowing us to develop AITARK in a targeted way. We look forward to exciting insights and growing together.”
Simon Rauscher, Co-Founder AITARK
