Startup Garage is Tecnopuc’s unique, hands-on business modeling program, designed for entrepreneurs looking to change the world. It provides tools and resources that help entrepreneurs shape their innovative tech-based ideas into impactful businesses. The program consists of four tracks: Knowledge, which includes talks and lectures with market references; Hands-on, where teams apply their newfound knowledge through special tools and practical tasks; Mentorship, which offers direct one-on-one conversations with selected experts; and Community, for building meaningful connections with entrepreneurs and potential investors through networking. Participating teams define the problem they are solving and their target customer segment and build a structured business model. 

“We have run thirteen editions so far, supporting more than 350 startups and 850 entrepreneurs,” says Daniela Eckert, head of Tecnopuc Startups. “We have the potential to reach entrepreneurs globally. In the fourteenth edition in 2023, we are excited to hear from daring entrepreneurs the world over.”
