It is an urban non-profit corporation, which was established in the context of Corporate Social Responsibility actions, in order to become the bridge of communication between businesses and society, to encourage businesses to support individuals, groups, charities, organizations and related bodies and to offer materials goods and/or services.

The ambitious plan and the sacred purpose that the "Network" is called to carry out brought together in its ranks the most important business entities of Thessaloniki, with the sole aim of undertaking the implementation of a venture that has not been repeated anywhere in our country to date. The ultimate goal is to bridge the business world with society, offering substantial help and long-term benefits to vulnerable groups and individuals facing problems within society.
