Social Business Hub Styria

The Social Business Hub Styria is an innovative incubator and network for people who tackle societal challenges in an entrepreneurial way. Based in Graz, Austria, the Hub focuses on promoting social and green enterprises that develop solutions for pressing issues such as climate change, demographic change, migration, education, and the urban-rural gap.

Our mission is to promote a society in which all people have equal rights and the opportunity to actively shape their lives. We envision a society that protects the environment and natural resources and develops strong communities to implement solutions for the benefit of all. Our values are based on supporting and promoting social innovations, inspiring and advising founders and social entrepreneurs, as well as building vibrant networks[5].

• Incubation Program: We offer a comprehensive startup program that includes professional consulting, access to experts, subject-specific workshops, and the use of office and meeting rooms for 12 months. This program supports founders and social entrepreneurs in developing and implementing their business models[4].
• Networking: The Social Business Hub Styria connects a diverse community of social entrepreneurs and provides access to an extensive startup network to promote the exchange of ideas and resources[4][5].
• Workshops and Expertise: We share our expertise through a series of workshops and advise founders at all stages of their business creation[4].

A central goal of the Social Business Hub Styria is to develop and implement sustainable solutions for societal and ecological challenges. By promoting green and social enterprises, we contribute to protecting the environment and preserving natural resources. Our initiatives focus on developing strong and vibrant communities that work together to solve global problems[5].

The Social Business Hub Styria is thus a central anchor point for social and green entrepreneurship in the region, combining innovation, social responsibility, and sustainable development.
