WindHackers

Let's challenge the status quo!

WindHackers is an open innovation hub for innovators and entrepreneurs to share, learn and create.

About us

WindHackers unite innovative and enterprising people who are open to new ideas, ready to learn and share their knowledge. WindHackers describes two words: Wind - something invisible and volatile, like an idea that skillfully realized, can turn a wind generator, move a ship and make an aeroplane to fly, as well as Hackers - people who are looking for new ways to change and improve existing arrangements. We believe that connecting people with business, creative, and technical skills complemented by community support creates an environment to realize any idea.

What do we believe?

Our mission is to discover the potential of creativity and entrepreneurship.

Courage

You need the courage to start something new, you also need it to stop doing things the right old way. Courage inspires!

Sharing

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. We believe in the power of sharing ideas, knowledge and community.

Creativity

Creativity lets us express our personality and unique view of the world.

STEVE JOBS

"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things".
