We are launching a new edition of the Emprendeverde Labs, free training and experimentation laboratories developed by the Emprendeverde Network. More than 100 entrepreneurs who already have a green and/or blue business idea will be able to participate, but who need help to mature and validate their sustainable project before launching into the market.

From October of this year, the selected people will have the opportunity to have the support and accompaniment of the largest green entrepreneurship network in Spain, of which more than 9,000 people are already part. In addition, they will be able to choose between four specialised training itineraries in areas such as climate change (Climate Change Lab), circular economy (Circular Economy Lab), sustainable rural development (Repuebla en Verde Lab) or the exchange of ideas with Europe, which in this edition will focus on the exchange with Portugal’s innovative green entrepreneurship ecosystem (European Connection Lab).

Participants will be able to acquire key knowledge to start their business through consolidated innovative methodologies such as Design Thinking or the Business Model Canvas or visits to companies and talks with a team of experts to learn about practical success stories and the latest trends.

IMPROVING ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS

According to the experience of the Emprendeverde Network, most of the people who embark on a green project have advanced knowledge in their area of specialization and a high sensitivity to the environment, but they need to improve their knowledge and skills necessary in the business management part (59%).

The Emprendeverde Labs offer participants specialized training and support to promote the development of their green businesses, as well as follow-up during the 6 months following their participation, at which time they obtain priority access to the support services offered by the Emprendeverde Network for the incorporation of their companies.

On the other hand, participants who create their company will have the support of the Biodiversity Foundation to disseminate their initiative and will receive a seal of company constituted with the support of the Emprendeverde Network.

Those interested in participating can register on the website labs.emprendeverde.es.
