The overall objective of the InnovHubs project is to foster innovation and sustainable development of SMEs in the social and solidarity economy sector in Mercosur, in the green economy, digital economy and care sectors; to support existing SE SMEs to make their production systems greener; to contribute in particular to the employment of young people and women, in the territories prioritised by the action.
