iEER- Boosting innovative Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Regions for young entrepreneurs 2

The COVID-19 crisis has resulted in 6,3% decline of EU economy and triggered unprecedented policy responses across European regions. In search of a sustainable and socially inclusive recovery, the extended activities of iEER  answer:  1) How do we as a region reboot entrepreneurship mindset of entrepreneurs and of stakeholders recovering from COVID-19, 2) How digitisation and remote working, by and large, support the growth of innovative business and sustainability and 3) How do we recover and boost growth by encouraging social entrepreneurship and fulfilling ESG principles and SDG goals?   

With evidence of COVID-19  effects manifested until the beginning of 2021, we will work together to learn about key challenges and opportunities facing the recovery of regional actors and regional policies, to seek good practices and learn from each other and to use the knowledge to define necessary recovery measures to meet the needs of the entrepreneurship ecosystem actors in the regions.  

The expected outcomes are 1) Improvement of regional response and future policy addressing 5 EU's Structural fund programmes and 2 national economic policies, 2) Good practices for inspiration and inputs to Interreg Europe Policy Learning Platform and 3) Dissemination activites.
