NED

established as think tank and innovative open approach to financial solutions to the benefit of local communities.
NED is an association that creates synergies among Central-South European territories, local and EU institutional bodies, experts and young start-uppers profiting of financial opportunities to innovatively accomplish environmental, gender equality, legality and security goals.
NED is primarily a space for meeting, open discussion and innovation where to talk about European, international and national solutions, addressing the present, delve into the past and try to imagine the future while maintaining an open and critical point of view. NED also carries out innovative projects to stand for civil and social rights involving communities and institutions via social innovation tools.
Their success is based on knowing how to intercept European funds and convey them in creating social and economic opportunities for NPO and SMEs via a continuous exchange of innovative ideas, solutions and feedback.
The solution offered are mostly aimed at young entrepreneurs and SMEs, as well as socially committed NPO who wish for innovative and shared answers to a better use of EU funds in reducing the current Southern EU socio-economical gaps.
This practice can be applied to community lead action groups and think-tank.
