Coworking Entrepreneurship Centre and Incubator - KIKŠTARTER

KIKŠTARTER Kamnik arose from the initiative of Youth Center Kotlovnica which together with local stakeholders and Technology park Ljubljana recognized the need to motivate and stimulate entrepreneurial ideas of Kamnik's youth. The initiative also involved Kamnik Municipality and Rudolf Maister School. Initiative was also approached by Kamnik entrepreneurs, joined in the Enterpreneurship club. The first activities were implemented in January of 2014 with first discussions, development of the co-working idea and networking activities between the municipality, the entrepreneurs, Youth Centre, High school and Ljubljana Technology Park. In 2014 KIKŠTARTER had an exchange volunteer program, where the idea was elaborated on, as well as motivation workshops targeting potential and young entrepreneurs. In 2015, they provided the physical location and enabled numerous inhabitants, entrepreneurs and talents from Kamnik to work on their business idea, have a space to work and develop as well as to network. Today KIKŠTARTER offers work space (680 m2 – 8 tables in common co-working space,13 offices 1 conference room,1 laboratory, a reading corner with professional literature, 1 Meeting Room, Block space for socializing, Lecture, Garden with outdoor co-working space) and strong community.
