Ferndorf Fungipreneurs

In the serene but remote Hochberg Valley of Ferndorf, Austria, a pair of enterprising

migrant youths are embarking on a journey that intertwines their mycology passion with

technological innovation. They aim to launch a digital platform dedicated to the marketing

of rare, medicinal mushrooms indigenous to their region.

With a keen eye on environmental sustainability and community health, their vision extends

beyond mere commerce; they aspire to introduce these natural treasures to a broader

audience while supporting local ecosystems.

With an ambitious financial outline projecting a €150,000 investment requirement, they

anticipate turning this into a €600,000 turnover within three years, promising a

commendable net profit of €180,000.

This social business idea not only reflects a deep-rooted commitment to ecological

preservation but also highlights the potential for significant economic impact within their

community.
