Istasyon TEDU supports social benefit oriented actors through a combination of non-financial support mechanisms (e.g. access to co-working space, meeting facilities, mentors, network, training opportunities). Istasyon collects and disseminates information about social entrepreneurship, social innovation and related fields. The Center acts as an intermediary for university-society interaction in Ankara in line with the vision of TED University to be a “city university”, thus developing projects and programmes to support relevant initiatives and activities. Community building and networking activities play an essential role in Istasyon TEDU's work.
Istasyon TEDU Social Innovation Center has a social incubation area for social entrepreneurs. The design of the Social Incubation Program (SIP) is work-in-progress, yet there is a beta-phase programme hosting five social entrepreneur groups.
Info
Istasyon TEDU is based in Turkey and has been running since Apr 2016
