PARIS (December, 2022) Social Tides, the program powered by INCO and supported by Google.org, announces the open call for applications for the second cohort of “Grow”. The acceleration program is for existing social entrepreneurs and enterprises that aspire to reach the next stage of their startup’s journey.
To support the growth of the European social economy, this program will tap into the innovation potential of the region. The 8-month program will provide participants with:
- Intensive training led by industry experts
- Funding of up to 100.000 euros, for participants who complete the training
- Networking opportunities with the wider European social impact ecosystem
- Mentorship opportunities from key European social entrepreneurs
Access to funding, skills and networks remains a barrier for these entrepreneurs. For this program, the goal is simple: provide the fundamental and growth components to support those working to achieve positive impact in communities across Europe.
The deadline to submit applications is 11:59pm (CET) on February 3, 2023. Grant recipients will be announced in mid . For more information on Social Tides, including applications details please visit https://www.socialtides.eu/
