Isn't this an exact copy of the Startup Weekend concept ?

More or less probably yes (or Launch48, or 24 Hour Business Camp, or many other similar programs). None of us organizers have been to any of other events, so hard to compare. We have set it up so it works well in our region. We're also looking to do 5-6 Garage48 events in Africa this year.

Do you know when and if that so called "Non-Profit" Garage48 would be coming up? I'd be happy to participate. However, I don't know anyone who is going to these events. Would this be limiting anything?

I personally believe a big part of the experience is to go to these events alone, without knowing anybody else. This is the best way to get the most out of them. You'll basically learn a lot about yourself and also make new friends with a varied skillset.

May come in handy when you're building your next startup, you never know.

Estonian Public Services Garage48 takes place February 25-27th.

And you do not have any contacts beforehand with other participants. Many people show up and just find new contacts there.
