Project Report | Apr 27, 2026
Mar 2026 Quarterly Impact Report - SocialTech Lab

Scenes from the LEVERS sustainability hackathon
Scenes from the LEVERS sustainability hackathon

As we begin 2026, this quarter focused on delivering targeted programmes, workshops, and community-driven activities that strengthened entrepreneurial capacity, supported early-stage founders, and fostered inclusive dialogue across our ecosystem.

Our work centred on hands-on learning, practical skill development, and meaningful community engagement, with activities taking place across The Base and in collaboration with local and international partners.

In this update, we showcase key initiatives that have driven our impact, including: 

  • Hosted the Drones for Good: A Science Café on Advanced Air Mobility at the University of Cyprus, engaging participants through interactive discussions, live polls, and real-life scenarios on the use of drone technology across multiple sectors.
  • Implemented the LEVERS Hackathon focused on transforming waste into sustainable products through circular economy and innovation-driven solutions.
  • Delivered the Women Entrepreneurs Lab (WEL) 2-day bootcamp, supporting women founders to refine business strategies, strengthen leadership and branding, and develop investment-ready pitches in collaboration with mentors and industry experts.
  • Participated in the Nicosia Antiracist Festival, hosting a kiosk promoting dialogue on inclusion, participation, and social innovation through public engagement.

 As a community center, we also partner with other organisations to host impactful events at The Base:

  • Hosted 15 Master’s students from the University of Innsbruck, presenting SocialTech Lab’s work on positive peacebuilding and facilitating discussions on innovation and entrepreneurship in peacebuilding contexts.
  • Organised the second edition of the Pizza & Pitch Night, bringing together founders and creatives to share ideas, connect, and engage in informal pitching sessions.
  • Delivered the Digital Marketing & Ads Workshop in collaboration with PromoGoat, supporting early-stage founders to develop structured advertising strategies, test ideas, and build practical campaign plans.

In this quarter, we’re proud to celebrate key milestones and recognitions that highlight our ongoing impact:

  • Presented as a previous finalist at the NEB4All Online Training Series, contributing to sessions on the New European Bauhaus narrative, values, and project implementation.
  • Launched the updated SocialTech Lab website, improving the visibility of our work.
  • Published our trainings "From Idea to MVP – Building Sustainable Built-Environment Startup" on the NEB Academy, as part of the NEBA South Hub. 

We close this quarter with appreciation for our partners, collaborators, and community. Looking ahead, we remain committed to strengthening inclusive innovation ecosystems and supporting solutions that drive sustainable and social impact.
