EcoEmprende: Promoting green, circular and sustainable entrepreneurship

Empleaverde+ program

The EcoEmprende project seeks to actively promote Entrepreneurship in the Green and Circular Economy, as drivers of economic and social development, promoting the Ecological Transition towards a green, fair and circular economy. It will seek to support participants so that they can develop ideas for entrepreneurial projects, and put into practice innovative and sustainable solutions that contribute to the transition towards a circular economy on the island of Tenerife.

The transition to a circular economy presents an opportunity to transform traditional business models and foster sustainable development in Tenerife. It will be developed in 3 phases and is expected to promote sustainable entrepreneurship, providing unemployed people with the tools and support necessary to create innovative and resilient business models.
Each phase will be carefully designed to provide the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary for participants, including women, people living in rural areas, priority social groups, to successfully navigate the journey towards entrepreneurship and thus ensure effective accompaniment.
