The FOUNDING GARAGE is a place where aspiring social entrepreneurs find the support they need to turn their ideas into reality. It is a contact point for anyone who puts benefits for society ahead of profit. In lectures, workshops and themed salons, entrepreneurs will work with others to realise their ideas – supportively, collabo­ratively and sustainably. They will present their ideas and results at public events, and some of the workshops are also open to the public.
