Furthermore, Crowdpolicy led the initiative for the creation of the first Fintech Cluster in Greece, the Greek Fintech Cluster that already consists of 12 members, with the aim of providing members and the wider fintech ecosystem with the appropriate resources and know-how, which will allow them to respond to the challenges and opportunities of this field, nationally and internationally.

Another initiative of Crowdpolicy is Govhack, the 1st Innovation Center for Digital Transformation in Public Administration, consisting of 13 members. It is a single network of innovation and entrepreneurship whose purpose is to enhance and promote know-how and new good practices of digital governance in order to modernize Public Administration and Local Government.

Govhack has already taken the first steps to develop innovative interventions in the field of public administration. As part of this effort, Crowdpolicy is a partner of the project ENTREpreneurial skills in the PUBLic sector: a digital approach (ENTREPUBL) aimed at the development of entrepreneurial skills in the public sector in Europe. ENTREPUBL is funded by the Erasmus+ program and supported by 8 partners active in the academic, business, non-profit and public sectors in Europe.
Crowdpolicy’s actions are part of a broader effort to create strategic partnerships. For instance, we have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with the University of the Aegean with which we are partners in a number of mutual projects and for which we have developed the “Aegean Startups Platform — Digital Academic Accelerator of Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Actions with Social Impact for the Aegean Islands”. Also, in the field of AI Chatbot, Crowdpolicy has started a Strategic Partnership with Viber.
