Identity
and
Objectives
ProZante is a not-for-profit cooperation platform founded by 20 Zakinthian scientists living abroad.
It was created to support the island and its local authorities in their development efforts.
We are unpaid volunteers.
ProZante is politically neutral and inclusive. Its Articles of Association are online (in Greek only).
Our goals are to:
Offer information, proposals, solutions, evidence and examples of good practice.
Contribute to the development of a long-term Development Strategy for the island.
Provide information about possible sources of European funding.
ProZante is:
- Independent from politics and political parties. It is not the incubator of a political formation.
- NOT serving anybody’s financial, political or personal agenda.
- NOT an implementation body for development projects –this is a task for the local and regional authorities. We do not receive or handle funds for project implementation.
- NOT a consultancy firm for private individuals or companies.
- NOT an export intermediary.
- Not a remunerated partner in funded projects.
