BASIS Vinschgau Venosta mixes economic and social priorities in its core business and tries to comprehensively compensate for the locational disadvantages of the Vinschgau valley. As a chance for founder initiatives, startups, freelancers to gain a favorable foothold but also as a development opportunity for companies and as a channel for civic engagement, the business model balances both. BASIS works in the niche, activates people and communities, achieves intersections and thus sustainably opens up innovation potential. It is therefore about the promotion and active support of entrepreneurs and start-ups in Val Venosta. BASIS aims to show how new forms of collaborative working can lead to a better and more inclusive development of society, through the promotion of innovation, the creation of synergies and added value. Providing new learning formats that meet the demands of the emerging, digitally connected world is also important in this regard.

BASIS is a founding member of startbase Coworking South Tyrol and now offers coworking spaces at three locations – Silandro, Malles and Naturno. With Cisco fiber optic broadband internet, retreat rooms for telephone and video conferences and many other advantages, the spaces serve as convenient hubs for companies and start-ups. The shared workspace is accessible around the clock and is a local solution for commuters, freelancers and home office challenges. Openness, knowledge sharing, sustainability and commitment characterize our philosophy. Curious?

We are a member of South Tyrol’s MICE organizers. Starting from IDM South Tyrol, the region presents itself since 2019 under the motto “Meet South Tyrol” as a place for M-eetings (conferences), I-ncentives (reward trips for employees organized by companies), C-onventions (congresses) and E-xhibitions (exhibitions). BASIS Vinschgau Venosta is a proud partner and venue. Thanks to the suitable premises in the building, we have space for large and small events. In addition, we combine work with leisure in the so-called Workation model.

The BASIS business and education formats take place regularly on site or in a partner company. Our goal is to bring the world to the village, i.e., to bring international developments and new products closer to local companies and to discuss them together. For this purpose, experts from Germany and abroad are invited. Work is done at the interface between modern economy and informal education. As a hub for the recognition and dissemination of knowledge as well as for qualitative practical experience among students, professionals, companies and communities, Basis aims to pick up on existing competencies, translate global trends and build creative potential. A constructive climate harbors courage to experiment, strengthens individual responsibility, and allows for dynamic as well as resilient growth. The workshops and lecture evenings usually end in a convivial networking round.

Impact-oriented investing refers to investments with the specific intention of achieving measurable, positive effects on the environment or society, in addition to a pure orientation toward return on investment or reimbursement through products and services. The need is particularly for measures for the purpose of prevention, innovation and scaling. This is the difference to classic sponsoring. For partner companies there is the possibility to actively participate in local economic, regional and social development outside of their own company. In addition, they can participate in university and practical educational measures and use the invested countervalue of products, services and spaces for themselves.
