Establishing an Innovative Startup in Greece as a Response to Socio-Economic Challenges

Startups and technology SMEs are increasingly emerging as a key driver of growth and economic growth in various sectors, creating a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem. The ever-changing socio-economic environment and the successive crises of recent years have highlighted the need for innovative business initiatives oriented towards sustainable urban development. Active entrepreneurial ecosystems can contribute to the design of innovative solutions, ensuring the sustainability and adaptability of new businesses and potential entrepreneurs.

How to make the transition from business idea to implementation while achieving the sustainability of the new business? What funding opportunities are available for a start-up, and how can it take advantage of them? What are the mechanisms that a startup can use to obtain the necessary funding to accelerate its growth? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the different legal forms that a startup can adopt?

With the main objective to clarify the requirements and conditions for founding a sustainable startup which will adapt and respond in time to the challenges of the times, JOIST Innovation Park is organising this open presentation.

This event is addressed to:

• Potential startupers, existing businesses and individuals who wish to create innovative companies to respond to the challenges of the times.
• New businesses already active in the labour market and looking for sustainable and growth solutions.
• Students who are either looking for professional opportunities or have conceived business ideas and are looking for support to implement them.

The event will present proposals, solutions, and methods of founding a startup. In addition, startupers come to share with you the success story of their business and present their journey from the first step.

We are waiting for you to exchange views and ideas!

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