Ecopreneur.eu, Green Economy at European level

We contribute to the creation of green business (eco-entrepreneurship) by:

• Identifying and mainstreaming green niches holding potential for job creation (“green jobs”). • Designing and developing Green Economy ecosystems: capacity-building and engagement of actors (“stakeholders”). • Implementing incubation programs: training of trainers on UNEP’s methodology, business modeling and fund-raising.

Phase 1. Green Business creation

Once Green Economy ecosystems where a critical mass of green SMEs and companies already exist (phase 1’s goal attained), the next step concerns the conception and development of a network of green business that creates high added-value for its members. We carry out:

• Assessment of the Local Green Economy ecosystem. • Design and implementation of the network, together with local partners: strategic objectives, member services, business model, online platform, legal form, funding, partnerships, roadmap, launching campaign. • Connection with Ecopreneur and other analog international networks: bridge between platforms, co-organization of green business summits, innovation transfer, joint research, seek of international mechanisms of funding.
