ENTREPRENEDU | Enhancing entrepreneurial ecosystems for education

Original description

ENTREPRENEDU brings together different innovation stakeholders and educational entities from 6 different European countries, 3 low/moderate innovative regions (IT, BG, EL) and 3 high innovative regions (BE, DE, IE). The project aims at creating a high replicable and scalable education model (c.d. Venture Capital Program) for both businesses and educational systems via a series of 3 Hackathons, developed at regional level, supporting developed concept and ideas to become concrete solution. At the end of the project, the program will be validated in the 3 educational entities that are part of the consortium. More specifically, ENTREPRENEDU aims at:

• Enhancing the proliferation of new business model and entrepreneurial skills, directly involving 90 teams of youth (age 18 to 30 years old), in 3 different Hackathons (30 teams per Hackathons) ;
• Providing a highly-replicable model to provide business know how for young Europeans, which will be validated in 3 educational institutions (IT, GR, BG) ;
• Supporting the 12 most viable and promising ideas and concepts from the early stages to the commercialization of their solutions, through 5 concrete outcomes that should be reached by the end of the project (please refer to section 1.3) ;
• Validating the Venture Capital Program (educational model) in 2 Universities and 1 VET entity on 90 students.

The ENTREPRENEDU unique and interdisciplinary methodology will enhance entrepreneurial know-how and business skills and activities in less and moderate developed innovation regions, thus reinforcing their acceleration capacity and enabling youth to scale their concept to fully concrete solutions with strong market potential, subsequently enhancing the development and competitiveness of these regions.
