Joint Venture
This Erasmus + funded project aims to build a fairer and more inclusive society through new ways of working together, involving entrepreneurs, people at risk of exclusion, NGOs and the business world.
The central focus is to create entrepreneurial teams to support people at risk of exclusion and provide them with tools to generate original business ideas and bring the concept to fruition in an efficient and straightforward way.
The six partners from five countries - UK, Spain, Bulgaria, Romania, Italy - are all NGOs and business consultants specialising in developing training materials, entrepreneurship and business incubation, including working with people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
During the 30 months of the project a series of training materials and an incubation process for potential entrepreneurs will be developed and tested on 9 new business concepts/ideas.
There will be opportunities for companies and business professionals, trainers, mentors, NGOs and future entrepreneurs to participate in the project at different stages. The project materials will be available as a free open resource for wide use.
