WHAT IS SPAZIO HUB?

SPAZIO HUB IS A PROJECT THAT WANTS TO INVOLVE PEOPLE IN TURNING THEIR OWN PASSIONS, SKILLS AND IDEAS IN CONCRETE JOB OPPORTUNITIES.

SPAZIO HUB ISN’T A BUSINESS INCUBATOR, BUT WORKS WITH BUSINESS INCUBATORS. IT’S A PLACE IN WHICH PEOPLE CAN COOPERATE, SHARE AND HELP EACH OTHERS TO DEVELOP COMMON IDEAS AND PROJECTS.

SPAZIO HUB IS ADDRESSED ESPECIALLY TO YOUNG PEOPLE, BUT IT’S OPEN TO EVERYONE FROM EVERYWHERE

key concepts

PEOPLE ARE ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS OF A PROCESS, NOT SPECTATORS OF TRAINING MEETINGS

EXISTING COMPANIES ARE PARTICIPANTS TOO

WE DON’T DO INDIVIDUAL CONSULTING, WE USE ONLY GROUP WORKS, SO PARTICIPANTS COULD CREATE NETWORKING AND POSITIVE CONNECTIONS

SHARE RISKS WILL HELP TO DEVELOP NEW PROJECTS

THERE ARE NOT BUSINESS EXPERTS, BUT ONLY FACILITATORS, PARTICIPANTS HELP TOGETHER

expected results
