The Emprendeverde Network (ReV) celebrates 10 years connecting green entrepreneurship actors and betting on training and support for new projects that are committed to sustainability and the environment. In this time, the network has managed to exceed 9,800 members, has trained more than 450 people in 22 actions and 200 entrepreneurs have shown their products and services in the 18 Marketplaces organized.

The Emprendeverde Network was born on April 11, 2011 and since then its purpose has been to become a platform that brings together the entire green entrepreneurship ecosystem, to be a place of reference where synergies are created between participants and to have resources to offer useful tools to entrepreneurs.  

Today, the ReV has more than 9,800 members, consolidating itself as the largest community in the green entrepreneurship ecosystem in Spain. Among its major commitments are training and support for new entrepreneurial projects through its services such as the Emprendeverde Labs, free training and experimentation actions aimed at entrepreneurs who have a green and/or blue business idea but who need to mature and validate it before starting it. Each action is focused on an area of green entrepreneurship such as climate change, population fixation in rural areas or the circular economy, among others.

Other services of the ReV are Emprendeverde Mentoring, a free mentoring action for green entrepreneurship projects, taught by specialized mentors, with innovative methodologies and Constitute #TuEmpresaVerde, to support entrepreneurs in the process of registering their company.

The ReV already has significant experience in actions of this type. So far, it has trained more than 450 entrepreneurs who have participated in 15 training and support actions focused on different aspects such as sustainable tourism, repopulation in the rural world, climate change, prototyping, marketing and personal branding, communication and green purchasing or social entrepreneurship.

In addition, 200 entrepreneurs have shown their products and services in the 18 Entrepreneurship Marketplaces organized within the framework of different fairs and events.

There have also been 16 emprendeverde Meetings, a consolidated format in the green entrepreneurship ecosystem with more than 640 participants and 82 speakers including experts and green entrepreneurs.

In addition, to cover all aspects of training and support for entrepreneurs, the ReV will launch new and innovative distance learning itineraries in the coming months to promote the creation of companies that want to undertake green, contribute to green recovery and conserve biodiversity.
