Hands-‐on towards a Green Economy
Background information on the SMART Start-‐up Programme:
Under the framework of the SMART Start-‐up Programme, the UNEP/Wuppertal Insti-‐tute Collaborating Centre on Sustainable Consumption and Production (CSCP) has been providing trainings and developing tools to sensitize the academic community and the youth to Sustainable Entrepreneurship and develop the capacity of entrepreneurs.
The SMART Start-‐up programme aims to stimulate sustainable entrepreneurship par-‐ticularly in rapidly growing economies. It presents the concept of sustainability as an op-‐portunity for potential entrepreneurs to develop sustainable business ideas and provides a platform for collaboration between multinational companies, micro entrepreneurs, and supportive civil society organizations.
The first edition of the SMART Start-‐up programme (2009-‐2010) targeted the African academic world and policy makers and took place in Mauritius and in Germany in the form of an “Educate-‐the-‐Educators” workshop gathering students, professors and practi-‐tioners from fifteen African and European universities.
The second edition of the programme, also known as SMART Start-‐up ICT was launched in 2010 in collaboration with Deutsche Telekom. It stemmed from the need for improving the capacity of entrepreneurship and ensuring sustainable practices in the ICT industry. Within the SMART Start-‐up ICT programme, two trainings were already con-‐ducted: in Cape Town, South Africa (12-‐15 April 2011), in Shanghai, China (18-‐21 October 2011), and the third training is to be delivered in Sao Paulo, Brazil (5-‐8 March 2012).
The third edition of the programme was launched in 2012 with kind support of CP/RAC. This edition focuses on the challenges and opportunities of Sustainable Entre-‐preneurship in the Mediterranean countries. It is based on an interactive training pro-‐gram, which intends to prepare and empower current and future entrepreneurs in the art of green entrepreneurship through new methodologies and more sustainable strategies, with the aim of tackling environmental and social challenges, promote sustainable life-‐styles in the Mediterranean region, and connect the Mediterranean entrepreneurial tra-‐dition with the emerging economic green model. The first training within this edition is took place from 14th to 17th February 2012 in Istanbul, Turkey.
