About the Hub
The Entrepreneurship Hub at ACT was established in 2014.
It aims to bridge existing gaps in the entrepreneurial ecosystem and leverage on existing structures. Entrepreneurship is a team sport and the Entrepreneurship Hub acts as the glue to bring ecosystem stakeholders together and provide with a sturdy springboard for entrepreneurial activity to launch.
By developing training programs, providing mentoring, organizing workshops, events and business plan competitions, the Hub enhances entrepreneurship in Northern Greece and supports startups and all those who want to get active in the business arena.
In its first period, the Entrepreneurship Hub provided support to ACT students. Over the time, due to the growing interest of other groups to join the Hub’s initiatives, and thanks to the support of sponsors and donors, the Hub's activities are accessible to any interested party.
The Entrepreneurship Hub’s mission is to change the culture around entrepreneurship by:
- Increasing social awareness of entrepreneurship surfacing the talent, focus and enthusiasm required to undertake entrepreneurial endeavors as well as the social and economic uptake resulting from entrepreneurship.
- Training the entrepreneurial ecosystem by providing the identification of essential resources (mentors, initial investors, methods for feeling the market, key partners etc)
- Networking to facilitate the reach of the essential resources.
- Exploiting social awareness and training to surface the basic ingredients of entrepreneurship across society and steer social conception towards the regenerative role of entrepreneurial activities which lead socioeconomic growth.
- Facilitating entrepreneurs to fully apply their potential within a receptive and encouraging environment by providing clear direction on important decisions they have to make.
Our vision is to elevate the regional entrepreneurial ecosystem to the global scene as a player among equals.
