GREEK CALL UPDATE
As the coronovirus spreading has introduced uncertainty on next steps for many people we decided to adapt the entry procedure to our incubator.
Now, we introduce an ‘open‘ call with specific cut-off dates.
Next cut-off date: March 14, 2021
Call for innovative business ideas
The projects selected in the previous step will be admitted to a mentoring, coaching, training, guidance and networking activity that will start approximately within 15 days after the conclusion of Step 1. The services will be structured according to a non-continuous timetable and will be offered mostly virtually through a specially developed platform. The schedule of activities will be announced in time to the beneficiaries. The outcome of the evaluation phase will be announced by e-mail to the contact person of each applicant/project and will be available on the project website (https://yessincubation.eu/) and the YESS Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/ProjectYESS/).
