• To promote entrepreneurship based on the socioeconomic situation of the territory, through the creation of new lines of action and market niches.
• To improve competitiveness of social economy companies in the cross-border territory.
• To create new niches of social and environmental value.
• To facilitate access to employment for people at risk of exclusion from work.
• To encourage the creation of socially inclusive enterprises.

Since this project is a meeting point between entrepreneurs in the field of social initiative, the program is aimed at:

• People with disabilities or those who are at risk of exclusion and are actively seeking employment in the areas under study.
• Entrepreneurs in search of new business opportunities willing to create new lines of action, exploring new Sources of Employment, in the border area between Castile and León and Portugal.
