The modules presented were aimed at inspiring and introducing the beneficiaries to the philosophy and concept of start-ups and business planning.
The aim of the training programme is, in eight sessions, to prepare the candidates to present their business idea to experienced and independent judges, claiming one of three prizes. The programme is divided into three stages, the third of which is only for the finalist teams to prepare them for the final pitch.
During the first two stages, mentors, coaches and trainers will help the teams to understand the basics of entrepreneurship and develop an effective presentation, which they will refine in the third stage.
The SEA project is co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and the national resources of the countries participating in the Interreg V-A Cooperation Programme “Greece-Bulgaria 2014-2020”.
