At HashNet, we believe in the transformative power of collaboration and innovation. That’s why we are thrilled to announce our involvement in SEED2SCALE, one of five European Commission–supported projects designed to activate and strengthen five National Competence Centres for Social Innovation (NCCs) in Croatia, Greece, Italy, Romania, and Slovenia.
Building on the success of the SEED project (2021–2023) i SEED2SCALE aims to bring each NCC to a new level of maturity—complete with a defined legal framework, as well as effective governance and sustainable business models. This initiative is a giant leap forward for social innovation, fostering a vibrant ecosystem of public and private stakeholders, nonprofit organizations, grassroots groups, and individual innovators.
Why SEED2SCALE?
- Legacy of Success
SEED2SCALE continues the momentum started by the SEED project, which laid the groundwork for National Competence Centres in social innovation. Over two years, the SEED consortium co-designed blueprints for NCCs in close cooperation with local communities. - Shared Governance
Through ongoing dialogue with ESF+ Managing Authorities and various innovation ecosystems, SEED2SCALE will shape governance structures that ensure decisions are transparent, inclusive, and impactful. - Scalable Impact
By establishing legal frameworks and proven business models, each NCC will be poised to drive meaningful change not just locally, but also across Europe.
