A closer look at

August started really well in the Hub...

We had the pleasure to host the Ashoka Globalizers. Triggered by the Essl Social Price, Ashoka picked 25 fellows with social innova-tions that were most promising to be scaled globally. The Globalizers used the Hub to work on their strategies to go global.

2 Strategies to get the most out of the Hub Workspace in August:

1| pick one spot during the weekWhether it is focusing on a new idea that is spinning in your head, reading those articles that were lying on your desk for weeks or using the time to take a step back from your project and revisit your strategy... pick one day in the week and bring your work to the Hub ... make it a habbit and it will help you to get more done faster.

2| �nd new people to meetWith the virtual platform Hub+ you have access to the profiles of all Hub Vienna members.Take a couple of minutes per week to go through the profiles and get in touch with people that share your interest. What better way to meet for a coffee or a spritzer than in August :)

Summer is half-way over

let’s make the second half twice as good :)
