Ionian Islands: Social Entrepreneurship and Development of K.AL.O. Bodies

Social entrepreneurship in the Ionian Islands was the subject of a special action for new and existing social cooperative enterprises (K.AL.O.).

The call links economic activity to social benefit and job creation.

What the action covers

The official presentation indicatively mentions care and education services, culture, experience tourism, agri-food, handicrafts, and green and digital activities. Funding mainly concerns personnel expenses and additional simplified cost. Listing code 7116 states an application deadline of July 7, 2026, and is described as expired. Official source

Practical preparation

A viable social venture needs a clear group of customers or beneficiaries, operational organization and a stable revenue base. It is recommended to describe separately the service being sold and the social outcome being pursued. This way the team can assess progress and adjust its planning without relying exclusively on a grant.

Discuss your plan

For an initial discussion with Entec Consultants, contact EGEC-sales@entec.gr, mentioning your region, activity, and investment idea. Exploring a plan does not guarantee funding approval.
