For the second year in a row, the Hellenic Initiative (THI) actively supports the youth entrepreneurship in Greece through the Venture Impact Awards 2021, An institution that last year offered cash prizes worth a total of $ 250,000 to 14 organizations with a positive impact on Greek society. This financial and moral support is more important than ever, given the significant impact of the pandemic on entrepreneurship and development efforts in the country. During last year's awards, some remarkable and socially active organizations such as Enaleia, Wise Greece, Impact Hub Athens, Elektronio, Apiceuticals were recognized, honored and benefited from the newest Hellenic Initiative program, which aims to support the most brilliant and talented teams in Greece.

Who it concerns the Venture Impact Awards 2021

Companies, social enterprises, NGOs, cooperatives and other organisations - both non-profit and for-profit - have the opportunity to apply by sending an application to VIA . Winners will be selected not only on the basis of their ability to be cost-effective, but also on how their activity translates into a humanitarian, social or environmental impact, while encouraging cooperation and promoting innovation. The Venture Impact Awards 2021 are the newest of the Hellenic Initiative programs such as Envolve Greece, Venture Garden and Athens Venture Fair. Since 2012, they have helped dynamic startups raise capital, receive consulting services from experienced executives and expand their presence in more markets.

The Venture Impact Awards 2021 are supported by the Helidoni Foundation and the Charles Condes Endowment. The prizes will be presented at a specially dedicated event at the end of the year.

Interested parties can apply to the Venture Impact Awards until October 15 at https://ventureimpactaward.com/application/

After their successful completion last year, we are pleased to announce that applications are open again. We look forward to meeting this year's nominees and are confident that we will be truly inspired by their actions and mission."

"We are delighted to be working with the Hellenic Initiative and the Helidoni Foundation on this special project.

Mr George Stamas, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Hellenic Initiative

"Behind every great organization are dedicated people who fight every day. People who try to do their best for themselves and those around them. Our intention is to thank them, but to actively support them in their journey, both financially and morally. With our help, they will have the resources to grow and create an even more positive impact on Greek society."
