Balkan Green Ideas (BGI), a project initially supported by Rockefeller Brothers Fund, stimulates and encourages ambitious entrepreneurs within the Western Balkans to generate green business ideas that utilize local resources and revitalize disappearing traditional production chains and community-based markets.
BGI aims to contribute substantially to building a peaceful, competitive, and prosperous region of the Western Balkans, by constantly pursuing regional environmental sustainability, aligning with the new WB Green Agenda, and providing a support program for sustainable green enterprises that will contribute towards a green Balkans and economically sustainable small rural and urban areas in our region.
The objective is to promote the principles and values of sustainable and green policy among young people in matters related to the economic, social, and political development of Western Balkan societies, as well as to connect young green activists and help them to identify potentials within their communities to create green and sustainable youth initiatives and businesses in the Western Balkans and Greece and ultimately contribute to strengthening their role in the vision for sustainable development within the region.
