TG / 05 / Activated ecosystems

Programmes
in progress.

This is where TechGarage activates ecosystems: real challenges, people and tools meet in programmes rooted in their communities. Each journey makes explicit the problem, who can contribute and the result to be tested.

02 programmes
underway
Applications closed Bologna / 2026

Line 01 / Accessible innovation

Social Impact
Lab Bologna.

Non-profit organisations and teams of innovators work together on real local needs, from analysing the challenge to piloting a solution. TechGarage builds the common ground: it turns needs into challenges, activates skills and guides the move from hypothesis to field test.

For whom
Organisations listed in the RUNTS (Italian Third Sector Register) and innovator teams
Goal
Turn an operational challenge into a solution that can be piloted
Next step

From School to Enterprise

A programme for secondary school students: observe a problem, build an idea, work as a team and present a project. Not an abstract simulation, but a guided experience in which initiative, collaboration and the ability to pitch a solution become practical skills.

For whom
Upper secondary schools and their students
Goal
Build initiative, collaboration and project skills
Next step
OpenLabs in schools and team applications

From programme to legacy

Every project leaves behind
tools and lessons.

The Warehouse holds the programmes, collaborations, tools and results that keep guiding TechGarage's work. It is not a chronological showcase: it is the working memory of what we have learned by building.
