Marc este un program internațional ce se adresează organizațiilor din Europa Centrală și de Est – România, Austria, Croația, Cehia, Ungaria, Serbia și Slovacia – pe care le sprijinim să acceseze piața de capital, să fie mai pregătite pentru a obține investițiile potrivite și să-și crească impactul social.
Aproape 13 milioane de oameni din Europa Centrală și de Est sunt expuși riscului de sărăcie. Marc îi sprijină pe antreprenorii ambițioși să devină agenți ai schimbării. Susținut de ERSTE Foundation, Erste Social Finance, SIMPACT și IFUA Nonprofit, programul răspunde nevoilor critice de finanțare și know-how, conectând afacerile de impact cu investitori și sprijinindu-le să își scaleze, în paralel, modelul de business și impactul social. Astfel, ele pot crește, se pot adapta și pot contribui la un viitor mai incluziv și mai sustenabil.

Within the EcoVolve project (Full project name: EcoVolve: Evolutionizing Ecosystems for Social Enterprises in the CEE Region, Project number: 101188814) funded by the European Union the consortium partners are IFUA Nonprofit Partner, SIMPACT, Erste Social Finance, Erste Group Bank and Impact Europe. Our goal is to develop innovative financial instruments and capacity-building programmes for Social Enterprises and Impact Startups – businesses that create positive social or environmental impact.
EcoVolve strives to address the needs of early-stage social finance markets in selected Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries: Austria, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, and Slovakia. We are working to build a more supportive ecosystem by addressing both the supply side (through the development of new impact-linked financing tools and the setup of an impact fund) and the demand side (through tailored capacity-building programmes for social enterprises).
New innovative financing structures tailored to the needs of young social finance markets, encompassing impact-linked financial instruments and provision through newly established impact fund (supply side) and related capacity-building services for social enterprises (SEs) (demand side) will be developed.
What will be the major outcomes of EcoVolve?

What makes a product truly stand out? It's not just how it looks, it's how well it solves a problem. 🚀
In this interview, meet Lukáš Oslzla, a mentor at Marc Midpoint Speed Mentoring.
💡 Lukáš helps startups develop products with a strong focus on product strategy and design, particularly custom solutions. For him, great design is about more than aesthetics; it's about creating products that communicate clearly with their target audience and genuinely meet users' needs.
He's also the founder of Artstay, a studio developing custom solutions. Connect with Lukáš on LinkedIn to learn more and continue the conversation.
