The Base by CyprusInno, the world's first Social Impact Generator™, combines the elements of a coworking space, accelerator/incubator, innovation center, meeting/office space, and multimedia studio. Located in Cyprus' UN Buffer Zone in Nicosia, the last divided capital in Europe, The Base by CyprusInno is the first space of its kind in the world situated in a military buffer zone.
A Social Impact Generator™ is an ever-evolving, multi-purpose space that enables the co-creation of social & economic impact in various fields of focus by bringing together both the private and public sectors, as well as civil society, via a hybrid platform of digital & physical tools.
CyprusInno is an award-winning intercommunal social venture and peacetech platform working towards building an island-wide entrepreneurial ecosystem in Cyprus via digital tools, live programs, and physical spaces. CyprusInno utilizes a novel method of entrepreneurship as a mechanism for peacebuilding.
