Why it matters
Across Europe, many micro and small enterprises and vulnerable groups still face limited access to finance and non-financial support. This is even harder during the green transition, where the cost of adopting sustainable technologies can be prohibitive.
Fin4Good responds by strengthening education and practical skills in microfinance and the social economy—helping future professionals, institutions, and local stakeholders build more inclusive and sustainable economic opportunities.
