Andreas Treichl, Chairman of the Board of ERSTE Foundation stated in Budapest, the second station of the Social Business Tour: “In Central and Eastern Europe there is still a tendency to trust in the state alone when a society has social problems. With the creation of Social Businesses, a bridge can be built from the private economy to civil society. I have a lot of trust in the potential of this region. This is why we decided to give it an impulse, so we created a special budget of 10 million Euros to finance social enterprises in these countries.
good.bee is in charge with the application process and entire project management, and we would like to address an invitation to Hungarian entrepreneurs as well”.
