The American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce has launched a major initiative to foster innovation and entrepreneurship in Greece.
Make Innovation Work—MIW—is a competition designed to reward business plans that are innovative and entrepreneurial. It is also designed to make Greece more competitive.
Take part in the Make Innovation Work competition by submitting an innovative and feasible business plan to be implemented in Greece.
* The rules and regulations are simple and straightforward.
* Make Innovation Work is open to any Greek or Cypriot citizen or legal entity, including those of the global Diaspora.
* The business plan must be innovative, in some way prove to advance the Greek economy, be feasible, and must be submitted by the deadline of June 30, 2011.
* First prize is 100.000 dollars US, plus significant legal, technological, and organizational support.
* The winning proposals will be announced in October 2011.
Business Plans must be in one of four sectors that are cornerstones of Greece’s economy and growth: Green Energy, Tourism, Alternative Agriculture, and Transportation and Shipping.
Technology can play a minor or major role in any of the business plans. Business plans can be web based, bricks and mortar based, or a combination of the two.
Make Innovation Work is under the auspices of the Prime Minister of Greece.
