About Us
The GREEN AND BLUE DEVELOPMENT Social Cooperative Enterprise (GBD SCE) is an innovative social enterprise based in Greece, founded by young scientists with a shared vision for sustainable development. Our work focuses on green and blue growth, bridging the gap between academic research, innovation and real-world applications that benefit communities, businesses and the environment.
GBD SCE transforms research outcomes and creative ideas into practical products, services and initiatives with a strong emphasis on sustainability, climate action and responsible tourism. As a social cooperative, we prioritize social impact alongside innovation, creating opportunities for young professionals, researchers and experts, especially those from rural or underrepresented areas.
