 The starting point of the project has been a socio-institutional problem and a tentative techno-economic solution. In the context of the recent developments in the social economic sector, an increasing number of people has been contributing to social innovation projects, striving to create sustainable options for surpassing the deep economic, social and environmental crisis in Europe. However, these communities face certain challenges in creating sustainable livelihoods and in supporting the appropriate organisational and governance structures. At the same time, the wide diffusion of ICT and the decentralisation of the means of information production pose as an untapped opportunity, in providing new techno-economic blueprints for sustainability.  The starting point of the project has been a socio-institutional problem and a tentative techno-economic solution.

 The PHYGITAL target groups include restless entrepreneurs and freelancers; local SMEs and micro-enterprises from different sectors, as well as activists, hobbyists and communities contributing to open source and social innovation projects and the wider public. The added value of the project lies in the empowerment of more people to adopt sustainable patterns and work towards making a positive social impact, by co-designing and co-producing new solutions for local challenges and openly sharing the benefits on a global level. The PHYGITAL target groups include restless entrepreneurs and freelancers; local SMEs and micro-enterprises from different sectors, as well as activists, hobbyists and communities contributing to open source and social innovation projects and the wider public.

 +==== Understanding the Set-up ====
 The project idea has been initiated by the ongoing discussions over the long-lasting disparities in the Balkan-Mediterranean region, developed by 3 organisations from the wider area, namely: Stichting Peer to Peer Alternatives - Greece (a.k.a. “P2P Lab”); ARTos Foundation, along with its hosted hacker-community “hHack66” - Cyprus; and Open Labs - Albania. They have all joined forces under the umbrella of the Greek Free Open Source Software Society (GFOSS) to design a project that will provide sustainable alternatives for innovative entrepreneurship, within the current unfavourable business environment in the area, inspired by the open source movement and various collaborative practices. In response, the Municipality of North Tzoumerka, the University of Nicosia Research Foundation (UNRF) and the Centre of Folklore Activities, came to support this initiative, aiming to bring together local stakeholders from different domains along with various open creative communities. The project idea has been initiated by the ongoing discussions over the long-lasting disparities in the Balkan-Mediterranean region, developed by 3 organisations from the wider area, namely: Stichting Peer to Peer Alternatives - Greece (a.k.a. “P2P Lab”); ARTos Foundation, along with its hosted hacker-community “hHack66” - Cyprus; and Open Labs - Albania.
