TASK4ISI

TASK4ISI – Advancing skills and inclusive entrepreneurship for social innovation:
TASK4ISI (Transnational Action to advance SKills and competences FOR Inclusive entrepreneurship and Social Innovation) is a Central Europe cooperation project addressing the lack of inclusive entrepreneurial opportunities for under-represented groups such as women, migrants, youth, seniors, and people with disabilities. By creating and networking local Inclusive and Sustainable Innovation Hubs (ISIHUBs), the project strengthens entrepreneurial skills, supports tailored business support services, and promotes social innovation across participating regions. Through pilot trainings, peer-learning, and strategy development, TASK4ISI enhances regional competitiveness, fosters social cohesion, and embeds inclusive entrepreneurship within broader innovation and smart specialisation policies.

TASK4ISI builds Inclusive and Social Innovation Hubs and transnational networks that empower under‑represented entrepreneurs, strengthening social innovation and social entrepreneurship skills and inclusive ecosystems.

OUTPUTS:
• Five Inclusive and Sustainable Innovation Hubs (ISIHUBs) established in participating regions.
• Pilot training and support programmes for under-represented entrepreneurs.
• Framework Programme of learning modules and support services.
• Five region-specific Business Skills and Matchmaking Programmes.
• Five transferable Toolkits for Inclusive Entrepreneurship.
• Transnational Network of ISIHUBs engaging approx. 108 stakeholders.
• Joint Strategy Agenda and Local Action Plan Packages to support policy uptake.
• Cooperation Agreement defining roles and sustainability mechanisms.
