In the course of action of the present project, the main priority will be the support and development of social and cooperative entrepreneurship in the wider region of both Bulgaria and Greece, by creating the prerequisites for promoting and enforcing alternative types of entrepreneurship, along with local growth. An example of applying this cooperative entrepreneurship is the development of Social Cooperative Businesses. As an added value the “eco-innovation” can be a motive for the further development of this social entrepreneurship. Therefore, the “eco-innovation” leads to cost reduction, contributes to utilizing of new opportunities for growth, and focuses on quality so that it is promoted as the most suitable choice for customers. Thus, this program will be an original example of “eco-innovation” (collection and composting of organic waste).
The project is a crucial link between social entrepreneurship and “eco-innovation”. The contribution of the program is estimated that it will be the foundation for the development of social corporations. The notion of circle economy is highlighted by the above “eco-innovative” action. Under the three-fold moto: “produce-utilize-reuse”, the creation of an incubator highlights the social dimension of the program, emphasising “eco-innovation”. This way the social character of the project will be highlighted which is a crucial with the social enrolment of in the base economy to be a basic aspect of the strategic plan of both countries.
