Seeking Consortia and Partners for NEB HEU Calls!

SocialTech Lab is a nonprofit organisation based in Nicosia, Cyprus dedicated to fostering resilient entrepreneurial ecosystems. We use entrepreneurship & innovation in fragile contexts to bridge divides, empower local change-makers, and solve social and environmental challenges. We are an NEB partner in the Eastern Mediterannean successfully implementing programs such as NEB IGNITE, NEB GROW, and NEB Academy. Our innovation center, The Base by CyprusInno, is located within Cyprus military Buffer Zone and was named a finalist for this years’ NEB Prize.

Our 9-year track record has garnered a 7000+ community, 50+ programmes (accelerators, venture builders, hackathons, etc.), and 10+ digital startup tools. We are actively looking to contribute as a committed partner to Horizon Europe proposals, particularly those aligned with our expertise in entrepreneurship, social innovation, bioeconomy and sustainability, circular and creative economies, digital inclusion, and youth empowerment.
