    ATIPICS PROGRAM




    Category: Social Innovation Challenges
    
    Goal
    : Through its business preincubationprogram of 20 positive ideas, Atípics has several goals:
    • To encourage self-employment and the creation of businesses with a positive impact, stimulating responsible entrepreneurship among young Catalans aged 18 to 29 who neither study nor work.
    • To nurture the ecosystem of local entrepreneurship with solid projects with greater guarantees of success, led by competent people.

    Motivation: Young people in Catalonia have the same interest in starting a business as the young people in other countries. However most of young catalans never do it. On another note, many of the projects that reach business incubators, business angels, financial institutions, etc are in need of more structure and robustness. For this reason, Atípics aims to support young catalans in the initial phases of entrepreneurship: to help them acquire a level of matureness, enter into the market or reach to other institutions with a stronger project. Atípics foresees the need of converging the models of  for profit and not for profit in one which we call for benefit (i.e., the creation of social value). Thus, Atípics promotes and prioritizes projects with positive impact.

    Expected Impact: Atípics expects, by the end of the preincubationprogram, that 20 strong projects will be launched. This will translate in:
    • The creation of 20 self-employment jobs and additional jobs
    • Support of several stakeholders of the Catalan entrepreneurship ecosystem (business incubators,financial institutions, etc.) for the later stages of project development
    • The formation of a community of empowered and conscious young entrepreneurs, who are the motor of economic development and social transformation in the region.

    Partners: SOC, Bankia and Fondo de Garantía Juvenil

    Execution period: 2017
