The Social Enterprise Accelerator on Via Transilvanica expands funding from 10 to 15 entrepreneurial initiatives, allowing more entrepreneurs to develop sustainable economic activities. This decision follows a successful evaluation process that revealed a higher number of viable projects than initially budgeted. The program, launched in March 2026, attracted 283 applications, with 15 initiatives selected across various sectors, including local gastronomy and tourism. Each selected project will receive grants and mentorship to enhance their services and contribute to local community development. The initiative aims to strengthen the connection between hikers and rural communities, fostering economic opportunities along the trail.
