123P expands and meets Found.ation! 123P is growing and evolving! One of the most well-known collaborative spaces in Athens, opens a new chapter in its path with a new name and a brand new larger space, to provide a full range of support services for the emerging community of Greek technology enterprises. Found.ation, is the newly designed co-working space created by the 123P Team, aiming to meet the specific needs of technology startups and offer facilities and services in the areas of technology, graphic design and entrepreneurship. The main objective of Found.ation is to create a productive and growing ecosystem of entrepreneurial and technological talent which will form the basis for developing new Greek technology startups. Within Founda.tion's creative space, groups can be installed, work, meet and exchange ideas and experiences with other groups; meet with customers and investors, conduct meetings, and attend lectures and presentations. Educ.ation is an integral part of Found.ation. An educational platform aiming to help young people develop their knowledge and skills in the field of entrepreneurship. Educ.ation will be based on the pillars of ''Technical '' and ''Social'' Entrepreneurship. For each of these two pillars, the program will be supported by workshops and courses on the topics of web and mobile development design and business marketing, skills that are critical towards developing shrewd potential entrepreneurs. We invite you to visit our facilities on a daily basis and we will be delighted to meet you.
