A STRONG ALUMNI NETWORK
Many of our past participants continue to be part of our community even after completing the program. They take advantage of our facilities, such as access to offices or warehouses, become members, and participate in our networking events and gatherings. Additionally, many former participants actively support and mentor new incubator participants, creating a cycle of knowledge sharing and success.
Our goal is, of course, to build the same network and community around the Sustainability Track, allowing both tracks to collaborate and exchange ideas with each other.
