The Emprendeverde Network (REV) celebrates 10 years of supporting entrepreneurs in the creation and consolidation of sustainable companies.
This initiative of the Biodiversity Foundation of the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, is part of the projects of the Empleaverde Programme, co-financed by the European Social Fund. The main objective of this project is to support and accompany the green entrepreneurial sector in all phases of creating their business.
Since its inception on April 11, 2011, its purpose has been to promote green entrepreneurship in our country and to become a meeting place and point of reference for this ecosystem. Today it has established itself as the largest community in this field with more than 9,800 members interested in green recovery and biodiversity conservation through entrepreneurship projects.
The ReV offers free innovative tools and services to green entrepreneurs, including training and support actions, meetings between different types of enterprises, visibility and dissemination of their businesses and ideas and resources on green businesses.
So far, thanks to the Emprendeverde Network, more than 80 actions have been carried out in areas such as circular economy, demographic challenge or energy transition, in which more than 5,000 people have participated.
During these 10 years, the Network has trained more than 400 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.
SERVICES OF THE EMPRENDEVERDE NETWORK
Among its major commitments are training and support for new entrepreneurial projects through services such as Mentoring Emprendeverde, which is now launching its second edition and has open registration for interested parties. This initiative carries out free and adapted mentoring for green entrepreneurship projects.
Along these lines, the Constitute #TuEmpresaVerde service is also about to return, one more year, to support entrepreneurs in the process of registering their company.
Among the services of the ReV, the Emprendeverde Labs also stand out, free training and experimentation actions for entrepreneurs who have a green business idea but who need to mature and validate it before launching it. Each of these actions is focused on an area of green entrepreneurship such as climate change, population fixation in rural areas or the circular economy, among others.
In addition, to cover all aspects of training and support, the ReV will launch new distance training itineraries in the coming months, to promote the creation of companies that want to undertake green, contribute to green recovery and conserve biodiversity.
The Emprendeverde Network also offers a digital showcase of green businesses and organizes Marketplaces at fairs and events to give visibility to projects. In addition, throughout these 10 years, 16 emprendeverde meetings have been held, with more than 600 participants.
