We accelerate impact entrepreneurs who support access to education and employment.
About the Program
The Greiner Family has set up an accelerator program for impact entrepreneurs to bridge the gap between start-ups, know how and funding.
Six impact entrepreneurs will carefully be selected and are required to show a valid business concept and the proof that their idea has or will have a measurable impact.
This year, the focus is on equal access to quality education and decent employment opportunities to reduce the risk of poverty and social exclusion.
