High Quality Early Stage Entrepreneurship: Tools, Mechanisms and Enablers Towards a Sustainable Business System

The aim of the project is to map the Greek start-up ecosystem and the conditions necessary to support high quality early-stage entrepreneurship.

The project focuses on the empirical and theoretical investigation of the impact of certain critical factors on innovative new entrepreneurship, using data from various sources. Another critical objective of the project is to provide policy recommendations and a set of appropriate guidelines to support high potential entrepreneurship. It will study recent policies to support entrepreneurship in Greece and identify performance indicators that could serve as early warning indicators for early-stage high potential entrepreneurship.

Exploitation of Innovative Ideas and Research Results for Sustainable Development and Environmental Protection
