Call for Applications: A Social Entrepreneurship Program in the Western Balkans

For the fifth year running, the Regional Incubator for Social Entrepreneurs (RISE) is launching a Call for Applications for its program to support young social entrepreneurs in the Western Balkans, the RISE Journey.

RISE Journey 5, from idea to social business

The essence of the RISE Journey program lies in its support to young people in the Western Balkans in transforming their ideas into sustainable social enterprises.

Implemented by 6 incubators in the region, the RISE Journey offers participants a 9-month program divided into the ideation and incubation chapters.

The Ideation Chapter offers young entrepreneurs a range of training courses, coaching sessions, meetups and a mentorship programme enabling them to transform their ideas into sustainable social and environmental projects. At the end of this chapter, participants have the opportunity to present a social enterprise model, highlighting its impact and viability. The two most promising ideas will be awarded with a 3000€ business development and mobility grant each, as well as access to the Incubation Chapter.

This next Chapter extends its reach to the regional level. While testing and validating their social enterprise concept, the young social entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to meet their peers at an event in Serbia (RISE Bootcamp) and a mobility program in the Western Balkans (RISE Expedition).

How to Apply?

The fifth call for applications opens on September the 1st. The support program is looking for a new generation of young people aged between 16 and 35 from the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia) determined to make a difference in their community.

To take part in the program, teams will need to demonstrate :

  • their motivation to learn about social entrepreneurship and get involved in a regional intercultural program
  • their ambition to develop a concrete idea with a social impact
  • their willingness to learn from others in the region.

The RISE Call for Applications closes on 30th September, 2024
