SOCIAL ENTERPRISE COMMUNITY CENTER – BUSINESS INCUBATOR – INNOVATION & CREATIVITY LAB
We are an international platform of professionals, organisations, teams and individuals connected by a common goal – creating better conditions for the social business development in local markets and, through our networking, in the world as well. We create a unique ecosystem of resources and inspiration that practically and in the long term support beneficial projects and the development of sustainable future.
What we do
We are an incubator for meaningful and innovative solutions and socially beneficial business and projects. We offer attractive co-working and networking space for freelancers, start-ups, project teams and starting innovative firms. We organize a number of educational and inspirational events. We bring new and unique formats aimed at helping to develop the overall start-up ecosystem and especially the area of social business in Slovakia.
Our targeted activities help perspective and socially beneficial projects and start-ups. We strive to initiate and create, on a long-term basis, a platform for financing perspective start-ups and projects also from the area of social business. Together with our main partners, the Telekom Endowment Fund, the ZSE Foundation and the VUB Foundation, we motivate and enhance conditions for ideas and projects that move and develop our society.
