Following a series of inspiring Demo Days across the Western Balkans, RYCO, in collaboration with its partners and Local Incubators, is proud to announce the selection of 18 outstanding teams who will take the next big step in their entrepreneurial journey. These teams have been chosen to further develop their ideas into sustainable social enterprise models and will receive dedicated support as part of the RISE (Regional Incubator for Social Entrepreneurs) project.
Over the past months, young social entrepreneurs aged 18 to 35 from across the region have worked intensively with Local Incubators to shape their ideas and gain valuable skills in social entrepreneurship, innovation, and impact-driven business development.
Now, the most promising among them are moving forward to the next phase, bringing their ideas to life and contributing to a more connected, inclusive, and thriving Western Balkans through their socially responsible ventures.
We are excited to witness how these young changemakers will shape the future of the region, one enterprise at a time!
We are thrilled to unveil the winners of 2025.
