Bilbao Berrikuntza Faktoria (BBF) is a pioneering project for learning, innovation and entrepreneurship
If we go to the definition of the web page: Bilbao Berrikuntza Faktoria (BBF) is a pioneering project for learning, innovation and entrepreneurship, promoted and managed by Mondragon Unibertsitatea, in collaboration with Bilbao City Council. Other people also know the BBF as the Mondragon Team Academy Bilbo Laboratory. If we go deeper, we realise that the BBF is a unique concept.
The BBF is made unique by the people who inhabit it, the BBF is the home of multiple inhabitants. Inhabitants who inhabit the space, inhabitants who give and keep the ecosystem alive. An ecosystem that never stops, an ecosystem of teams. An ecosystem that promotes #emanhartua relationships, relationships where first you give and then you receive. People who seek harmony with patience and trust. Because this is how an ecosystem is kept alive, with people in action designing the future for everyone and maintaining in every change what is necessary.
In this change, movement characterizes the BBF. A movement that is reflected in different actions. On the one hand, the year began with several community activities that have finally exceeded 50 events in these months with the participation of more than 1,450 people. We highlight, for example, the first BBFest, or the importance of wellbeing, which has been at the center with the BBF Yoga programme and the WISE programme actions. On the other hand, we have had visitors from 5 continents, with programmes such as the Africa Basque Challenge of D4E or the visit of Trebor Scholz (Director and Founder of the Platform Cooperativism Consortium). But BBF goes beyond what happens in the building, it is also what is not visible to the eye, such as the local and global connections of the inhabitants between inhabitants and also with visitors. Everyone who enters wins. Everyone who stays wins again.
In September the events and visits will return and at the same time, steps will also be taken towards The Open Innovation Street by painting the wall. Even so, the BBF will still be alive in August. It is precisely the life that makes this place unique. It is precisely the life that makes this place unique.
