IED - Institute of Entrepreneurship Development

The Institute of Entrepreneurship Development (iED) is a Greek Organization committed to the promotion of innovation and the enhancing of the spirit of entrepreneurship.
By recognizing entrepreneurship as a crucial factor for the development and cohesion of societies, we develop research and are in a position to provide innovative solutions that facilitate the growth of healthy entrepreneurship and promote employment. In order to achieve our goal, we adopt an anthropocentric approach and cooperate with social, academic and business partners from Greece and abroad, aiming at producing and transferring know how, promoting entrepreneurial culture and enhancing the effectiveness and viability of enterprises.

Our activities are based on the premise that enterprises-and particularly SMEs-constitute traditionally the backbone of European economies and therefore also constitute a significant factor in the attempt to reduce unemployment and lead to a wider social prosperity. Since 2005, the year of establishment of iED, we have been orientated towards that direction and have implemented a wealth of actions and initiatives, which have made us a highly specialized organization in the following indicative fields of expertise:

• Entrepreneurship
• Education and training
• Employment and social inclusion
• Regional Development
• E-learning
• Youth
• SMEs
