The initiatives displayed are mostly European in reach. With interactive maps the users can see the status of the initiative in the country relevant to him or her and find additional information and links to the local projects.
The list of initiatives is not a complete overview of the growth related multi-stakeholder initiatives in Europe. They are a selection of current and active projects which are all supported by Microsoft.
Partnerships for Growth Portal is sponsored by Microsoft. The majority of the initiatives displayed on the portal, however, are sponsored by more partners, significantly by the EU that has co-financed many project activities under various initiatives.
