In its constant “quest” for innovative solutions, business knowhow and alternative methods to deal with urging social problems the municipality of Athens and the Athens Development and Destination Management Agency (EATA) are hosting their social entrepreneurship event (“Epiheiro Koinonika”) on February 18 at the Hub Events in Petralona, central Athens. Within its context, entrepreneurs operating or wishing to set up shop in Athens are invited to join forces in tackling major social issues offering fresh ideas for far-reaching change. Rising to specific needs of Athens-based entrepreneurs, the social entrepreneurship program identifies problem areas and provides training and consulting services that would develop or improve entrepreneurs’ ideas. The event will also include a panel discussion on “Cities as Centers of Growth and Support for Social Entrepreneurship” that will focus on good practices and ways for cities to tap into the potential of social entrepreneurship and its positive return to local communities. Athens Mayor Yiorgos Kaminis will address the event.
