This project aims at generating new business opportunities for NGOs that could be also undertaken by persons at risk of exclusion. These business opportunities will be identified by a collaborative work between public local administrations and private sector. In that sense, we will create a specific Bank of business ideas that could be implemented in peripheral areas in Europe. The project will then involve local NGOs, public administrations and private companies to design and implement an inclusive incubation models based on agile methodologies
Main objectives

The “social economy” has played an important role in addressing and mitigating the short- and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on economy and society. In the short term, social economy actors have assisted the recovery from the crisis by providing innovative solutions that are aimed at strengthening public services to complement government action. In the long term, social economy organizations can help reshape the post-crisis economy by promoting inclusive and sustainable economic models, ("Social economy and the COVID-19 crisis: current and future roles", OECD, July 2020). Despite this important role in social and economic recovery, their financial model is their main weakness. Most of them are still depending on public grants to finance their activities. During the 2008 economic crisis, the 27% of the funds they received came mainly from public funds and associates subscriptions. Due to this depency, aprox 30% of them were force to cease. Nowadays, circa 62% are still in this situation.
