VentureGarden Heraklion
2108964531 (ext.2288) venturegarden@bizrupt.gr

VentureGarden Heraklion started in 2019, and the choice of the city was not accidental. Alba had already organized many entrepreneurship-related activities in Heraklion. The combination of business tradition and innovative research found in the area showed early that an educational program like VentureGarden can thrive and deliver to the local business community.

In the broader area of ​​Heraklion, we meet several family businesses that need digital transformation, technology companies seeking to develop new services/products, and many potential entrepreneurs who need support in their first steps.

The program is implemented in collaboration with Bizrupt Organization, a local non-profit organization of entrepreneurship and innovation, which started its activities in 2017. Bizrupt's mission is to contribute to developing new sustainable businesses in the county, and its vision is  to create a strong innovation ecosystem in the Greek county, starting from Crete.
