The same criteria is applied at all stages of selection:

  The partnership takes an entrepreneurial and innovative approach, for example, in the way in which it is delivering services to a local or wider community, or bringing a new product to market.
• Social, Environmental and Economic Benefits:
  The project is intended to make a significant contribution (i.e. bring tangible benefits) to sustainable development by integrating the following:
  • Social benefits such as employment opportunities for the local population
  • Environmental benefits such as reduced carbon emissions or pollution, or protecting biodiversity
  • Economic benefits and income generation for the entrepreneurial
         partnership itself, and for the local community.
• Financial Sustainability of the project:
  The project is intended ultimately to be financially viable; it should have a sound business rationale and a draft business plan in place.

  At least three different partners, from three different stakeholder groups have already agreed to work together.
  The initiative demonstrates new ways of doing business through partnerships.
• Local drive and focus:
