The Bloc4BCN opens a new call for accommodation spaces for ESS projects
From Coòpolis we manage the Bloc4BCN project hosting and incubation service and that is why we are happy to announce that a new call is opened of this service.
From the November 20 and until December 24 projects that wish to do so can submit their request for space through the following form. There are several modalities that you can apply to, and according to them, the requirements may vary. You can consult all the specifics in the basis document.
In any case, and with the desire to increase the social impact, projects that are considered a social initiative or create employment in labor-vulnerable sectors and/or that promote, either from their economic activity or from practice, some of the following axes: areas of sustainable food and agroecology, Feminist Economies, Care for people, Cooperative Economy and Migrations, Local trade, Culture, Energy, Housing, Mobility and sustainable logistics, Digitization and emancipatory technologies, Sustainable Tourism and Textiles.
If your project does not meet any requirements but you are still interested in participating in this space, you can still apply and the jury will take your candidacy into consideration. The jury reserves the right to incorporate projects that do not meet the requirements, but that are interesting for the equipment as long as they do not exclude other projects that do meet the requirements.
Accommodation prices
The prices are monthly and include the transfer of space, furniture, supplies and escort service. Spaces can be shared with other entities and depending on the number of entities occupying a space, the price can be redefined. We recommend that you review the basis document to find out all the possible specifics, both of the spaces and of the price variations. The price of the office space €425/month and that of the semi-industrial spaces €525/month.
Visits and informative sessions
Entities that are interested can visit the space on the following days:
- Tuesday, December 3, 2024 at 11:00 a.m
- Wednesday December 11, 2024 at 5:00 p.m
To participate in these sessions you must send an email to info@bloc4.coop indicating name of the project, number of people and which session will be attended.
The meeting point will be the main door of Bloc4BCN: Carrer constitució, 19. Can Batlló Complex, Bloc 4.
Being part of the Bloc4BCN as a hosted entity has many benefits, since you will be part of a cooperative ecosystem and SSE entities and you will be accompanied by people who are experts in the development of this field. In this space, knowledge exchange networks are generated that strengthen relationships and projects, opening up the possibility for mutual cooperation and mutual support projects. In addition, you will have access to different services depending on the point at which your collective project is:
- Incubation, for those starting out.
- Acceleration for those with more than 6 years of life who need to deepen a specific point of their business or business model.
- Intercooperación is a program intended for cooperatives and entities of the social and solidarity economy that seek to generate a strategic center to develop new services and markets, develop diagnoses and respond to social challenges in a cooperative and innovative way.
- Finally, the workshops, for projects that, due to the type of activity, require a semi-industrial space.
