In this context, the EU-funded SocEn project will improve and increase the innovation support actions, activities and services available for entrepreneurs and SMEs through different entities supporting the creation and management of innovative companies. The project will use the Twinning Advance methodology to identify and share good practices in entrepreneurship and business development within the social impact framework. Moreover, it will identify implementation options, provide guidelines and alternatives, and formulate recommendations for innovation support service agencies. The results will be documented in a Design Options Paper.
