The Italian Ministry for Economic Development announced yesterday the national winners of the European Enterprise Promotion Awards 2022! The EU ECO-TANDEM Programme is one of the only 2 winners selected so far. The team is proud and grateful by this recognition, which is one of the prestigious recognition at the national and European level.

Since 2006, the European Enterprise Promotion Awards have been recognising those who promote entrepreneurship and small business at the national, regional and local level. The award specifically recognises projects that have an impact on the local economy but are also transferable to other regions in Europe.

The EU ECO-TANDEM got selected as winner under the category of “Support for sustainable transition.” Indeed, EU ECO-TANDEM has been actively raising awareness of and providing capacity building around eco-sustainable tourism, holding the aim of boosting the development of green tourism. This is achieved by assisting European tourism SMEs and startups along their eco-sustainable transitions through various activities such as the EU ECO-TANDEM Academy, and the EU ECO-TANDEM BIZ Programme.



So what are the next steps for this exciting journey?

The winners of all national pre-selections will compete in the European SME Assembly in Prague, on November 28-30th 2022. The most creative and inspiring entrepreneurship initiatives in Europe will be selected for the Grand Jury’s Prize! EU ECO-TANDEM can’t wait to see all the brilliant initiatives and to be showcased during the SME Assembly!
