To mark the fifth anniversary of the RISE project, PULSE Balkans, in partnership with RYCO and six local incubators, is organizing six local events across the Western Balkans. These events will celebrate the successes of the RISE project and inspire a new generation of social entrepreneurs. Participants will have the opportunity to meet, exchange ideas, and hear inspiring testimonials from young entrepreneurs who have benefited from the project’s support.
Event Objectives:
- Showcase the achievements and impact of the RISE Project over the past five years.
- Foster connections with potential donors and regional partners to attract support for projects and initiatives.
- Advocate for policies that promote entrepreneurship, innovation, access to funding, and a supportive business environment for impact-driven ventures.
- Inspire and encourage further engagement in social entrepreneurship among youth, civil society organizations, and policymakers.
- Provide a platform for networking among social entrepreneurs, incubators, donors, and stakeholders to foster collaboration and support for social innovation in the region.
- Share inspiring stories from entrepreneurs who have been part of the RISE journey, demonstrating the transformative potential of social entrepreneurship.
Since 2019, RISE has supported entrepreneurs and individuals with ideas to help their communities throughout the Western Balkans. The organization of these events celebrates all the individuals, NGOs, and entrepreneurs involved in RISE’s activities over the years.
After successfully concluding the first three events in Sarajevo, Pristina, Belgrade, and Podgorica, we look forward to welcoming you soon in Tirana and Skopje.
