About TFLL

The aim of the Tepebasi "Future Living" Lab (TFLL) is to analyze and validate innovative technologies that promote or enable the use of ICT for socio-economic development in low-income communities and also disabled groups who living with mentally and physical illnesses.

What is Tepebasi 'Future Living' Lab?

Social entrepreneurship defined in such a wide way should not be directly bound to legal benefits and financial support because the concept of social entrepreneurship might be then threatened by misuse and disintegration. Conditions of eventual legal and financial support should be discussed by experts of not only TFLL but also decision makers, sociologists and researchers in the next future in Tepebasi.
