Garage48 is an event where teams work over a weekend to develop working prototypes of new product or service ideas. The goal is to demonstrate that devoted teams can create prototypes in 48 hours and promote entrepreneurship. Up to 100 participants are preselected into teams to pitch ideas on Friday, form natural teams, implement the ideas over the weekend, and demonstrate results on Sunday. Garage48 events are held in multiple locations and countries to spread startup culture globally in a short time period through hands-on learning.
