“Green Entrepreneurs in the Rural Environment” is a project aimed at training, raising awareness and informing workers, self-employed workers and entrepreneurs about the potential offered by the rural environment in terms of generating green employment and new sustainable economic activities.

All this thanks to the development of new new and innovative business ideas, linked to the reconversion of traditional sectors in rural areas, the offer of sustainable products and services demanded by society, and the use of new communication technologies for the strategic positioning of businesses and the geolocation of companies.

In this way, the project encompasses training actions designed to facilitate access to training for workers, self-employed workers and entrepreneurs located in rural areas. Thus, face-to-face conferences and workshops will be held, which will take place in rural population centers, and which aim to contribute to the exchange of experiences between workers and entrepreneurs in rural areas.

On the other hand, studies will be carried out aimed at improving knowledge about the profile of entrepreneurs in rural areas and determining the communication needs of rural green businesses.

The majority of the project’s recipients will belong to the priority group made up of workers from SMEs, micro-SMEs, the self-employed and entrepreneurs located in rural areas.

The results that will be achieved with the project are:

• Train 120 recipients although the project will reach a total of 730 workers.
• Support the creation of at least eight companies located in rural areas and linked to environmental sectors.
• To encourage the application of new information and communication technologies (NICT) in rural companies as a strategic positioning tool.
• To promote the geolocation of companies in rural areas.
• To increase the number of entrepreneurs interested in launching a business idea in rural areas and in the field of the green economy.
