Startup Lounge #44 - Enactus Special

 

Join our Startup Lounge - Enactus Special on November 7. We are happy to welcome 2 student projects called Fluchthelfer Upcycling and Clothing the Gap. The projects evolved from the student organisation Enactus, which is a collecting point for students who are interested in addressing social issues through entrepreneurial activity.

Fluchthelfer Upcycling, in cooperation with the new label “Selig”, are designing unique upcycling accessories to prevent stuff being thrown to the trash. But more than that they want to hire underprivileged people to work in their start-up. There are many job-seeking in Mannheim who otherwise won`t get a chance on the regular job market.

Clothing the Gap are developing fitting and fashionable clothes for wheelchair users at affordable cost. While there are not many suppliers in the market, the few remaining sell the clothes at substantially higher costs. The student project does not only focus on improving the life of 1.6 million wheelchair users in Germany but also provides jobs for refugees as tailors.

Your first time to the Startup Lounge? The Startup Lounge is your place to get inspired to create something new, to discuss great ideas while hanging out with cool people and to meet startups, students and creative minds in a laid-back atmosphere. Join us if you are into startups and want to build a network in the Rhein-Neckar area. As usual, the first rounds of drinks are on us.

Date & Time: November 7, 2017 from 7:30 pm
