From Showroom to Racetrack: 25th Business Event of the 1894 Business Club by SHARP
To mark a special anniversary, the 1894 Business Club and host SHARP invited around 150 entrepreneurs and business leaders to a unique evening at Cineplexx Millennium City. Austria’s oldest football club’s business network celebrated its 25th business event – in an extraordinary setting.
The evening kicked off in SHARP’s showroom, located right inside the cinema, where guests were treated to culinary delights and the latest technological innovations from SHARP. The company’s business solutions range from printers, multifunctional devices, and displays to document management systems and comprehensive media technology solutions. The relaxed atmosphere created the perfect setting for lively conversations and new business connections.
Later, all guests gathered in the cinema hall for the official part of the evening, accompanied by popcorn and drinks. Walter Kraus, Managing Director of SHARP Austria, opened the event with a short personal speech. He provided insights into SHARP’s wide range of services and explained why the company chose to partner with Austria’s oldest football club.
Next, Vienna Vice President Robert Hammerl took the stage to outline the club’s sporting and economic goals. Coaches Mehmet Sütcü and new addition Aleksandar Gitsov also shared their ambitions with the Blue and Yellows. In addition, new signings Osarenren Okungbowa and Niklas Szerencsi, along with fan favourite Christoph Monschein, offered personal insights and outlooks for the season.
The evening concluded with a screening of the film *F1*, delivering both excitement and inspiration. Just like the drivers on screen, the Blue and Yellows will need full commitment, courage, and team spirit as they head into the new season.
The 25th business event of the 1894 Business Club once again blended innovation, sport, and networking – all in the spirit of strong unity and a family-like atmosphere. A big thank-you to the entire SHARP team for an evening worthy of the big screen!
