In the village of Vamvakou in Lakonia, we are creating a business centre, a shared collaborative space promoting the development of ideas, as part of the Revival of the village realized by Vamvakou Revival Team with the exclusive support of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). Our vision is to create a model mountain business centre and bring together people with passion and dreams, interested start-ups, as well as business teams that wish to contribute to the revitalization of the Greek countryside and build their own future through the implementation of a sustainable business idea. Vamvakou Incubator will be operating as a growth centre and a lever for the attraction of new business activity in the area, giving answers to problems by supporting new service/product/solution development, while contributing significantly to the revitalization, as well as to the qualitative upgrade of the economy in the wider area of Mount Parnon and the region of the Peloponnese. The Programme will be supporting ideas, individuals or groups in order to be able process their business idea, create a new business or develop an already existing one.
The business incubator forms part of the Peloponnesus Operational Programme 2014-2020 and falls under the Priority Axis of “Reinforcement of competitiveness, attractiveness and extroversion of the Region, transition to a qualitative entrepreneurship with a focus on innovation and an increased regional value”. Vamvakou Incubator and its operation are supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF), within the framework of the Vamvakou Revival initiative.
