DESCRIPTION

One of the key challenges for the development of innovative business ideas is access to finance. In many cases, start-ups do not go ahead with their idea because they are unable to access finance. Often, however, their inability to access finance is due to the limited information available to young entrepreneurs on the procedures and criteria applied by funding bodies to select the projects they will finance.

The JOIST open presentation is addressed to:

  • Potential startupers, existing businesses and individuals wishing to create innovative businesses.
  • Νέες επιχειρήσεις που δραστηριοποιούνται ήδη στην αγορά εργασίας και αναζητούν βιώσιμες και αναπτυξιακές λύσεις.
  • Students who are either looking for professional outlets or have conceived business ideas and need support for their implementation.

During the presentation, banking representatives and in Access to Finance experts will guide the participants on the procedures and criteria applied for the provision of funding to startups. In this way, those interested will understand the functioning of the funding bodies and will be able to assess better the possibility of financing their business idea.

The event takes place in the framework of the “U-SOLVE: Urban Sustainable Development Solutions Valuing Entrepreneurship” project funded by the European Union under the ENI CBC MED programme.
