internship @ bvit innovationnetwork 1 of the most successful incubators of the world

although it's summer that doesn't mean that i'm able to enjoy a break ;-)
too much great opportunities are being thrown into my lap :-D

a week ago i started @ bvit innovationnetwork crossmedia, 1 of the 3 most succesful incubators in the world (who could have thought that i would do an internship @ the age of 30 ;-) i sure didn't)

the reason? i want to learn the trick how to run an incubator myself.

early 2008 i hope to open a sustainable and social incubator @ heijplaat (rotterdam). social because of the fact that we (as lotsov) try to incubate personal talent/skills and sustainable. well i think that is obvious ;-)

the city of rotterdam has the ambition to become the capital of renewable energy. in order to achive that you need entrepreneurs and energetic people to take part in that challenge.

so we want want to facilitate them not just with cheap officespace but with a complete programme! (co)create a real hotspot with a package of energy, inspiration, networkers, engagement, (en)courage(ment), (social ) capital, knowledge, likeminded people, etc!

so when pim de bokx and toon buddingh'of bvit asked me if i felt something for being an intern i didn't need much time to think. YES PLEASE!

expert @ xlx in association with cmo stimulans and albeda

i have been an expert for the entrepreneural simulation game called xlx (Xpert Learning Xperience part of BViT) for a few weeks now. but this was the first time that the purpose of a XLX game was very close to my heart as a social entrepreneur and cofounder of the Lotsov Skills Centre: young moms.

cmo stimulans organised this XLX in association with a school called albeda we 'played' the game with over 14 young moms in order to discover for that being a mom still gives them a great opportunity to create a career themselves. so during the game they came up with a new clever fashionstore-concept, a new super/ mini-market and a true DAYcare (from 06.00-20.00hr) facillity.

i became very enthusiastic and told them that if they are serious and want to start their own business that maybe we can look into it an provide them with a micro credit.
