Zahnräder Netzwerk

About us

Zahnräder is a social incubator for social entrepreneurship. Zahnräder provides human, social, financial and cultural capital to Muslim social entrepreneurs in Germany. Zahnräder transforms individual energy into collective movement.

Together as a group of professionals, the Zahnräder – literally representing gearwheels – create change in and for the society. The Zahnräder Network attempts to encourage as well as enable efficient and effective interaction by equipping its participants with the necessary knowledge-based assets. Additionally, it aims to provide a social space – on and offline – so that structured interaction contributes to a socially sustainable, innovative and multifaceted society.

The nationwide conference is currently at the heart of Zahnräder’s events. About 120 participants come together – all of them as producers and not just consumers. It is all about sharing: sharing knowledge, sharing your network, sharing what motivates you, your goals, your ambitions, your vision etc.

Participants discuss their projects, swap ideas, receive feedback and learn new methods to put their knowledge into practice. Some join projects they find interesting, some recommend them to their friends and others try to create new ones.
