Greece Chapter

The main objective of the Greek chapter is to create an umbrella initiative that will enable the local ecosystem (Civil society, funding and social entrepreneurship ecosystem) to interact with transparency and shared values related to knowledge and experience exchange, promoting the country’s need for extroversion and for a concrete mindset shift leading to a cooperation mindset for preserving social, environmental and financial resources.
