The Telegraph reported last week over one ground-breaking program in London aimed at pinpointing, promoting and implementing a start-up idea to immediately boost the crisis-plagued Greek economy.

Six short-listed companies worked with corporate mentors, including Google executive Steve Vranakis and George Kartakis of Paypal-owned Braintree, according to the newspaper.

The week-long program was organized by Reload Greece, a NGO that backs desperately needed entrepreneurship from Greek expats and others in order to effect a social and economic impact in debt-laden and competitiveness-starved Greece.

Here are the six shortlisted ideas:

CleanHands (scholarship winner): this non-profit organisation is recycling unused soap bars and toiletries from hotels, turning them into low-cost, eco-friendly personal hygiene and household cleaning products.
Unnamed: this team is developing a chemical formula to preserve and protect historical sites and monuments from surface vandalism such as graffiti.
Mastiha World: the only UK-based company that specializes in the Greek anise-flavoured liqueur wants to help the product reach mass market.
MetaLearner: this business allows people to manage their own education through free and paid online and physical courses.
BookYourWeddingDay.com: the first international online platform for civil weddings will provide a live schedule covering two years of available dates and times for ceremonies.
Charisma Gifts: this online shop will sell exclusive handmade delicacies, accessories, home ware and body care products made by Greek businesses.
