SMecoMP Project - Pre-Incubator entitled: “Support, Development and Promotion of Business Ideas related to Environmental Entrepreneurship & Innovation”

The SMecoMP Pre-Incubator entitled: “Support, Development and Promotion of Business Ideas related to Environmental Entrepreneurship & Innovation” was co-organized by the Federation of Industries of Greece and the University of Macedonia and took place on November 6-7th, 2020. This two-day training seminar was held online through a special platform with two 3-hour sessions aimed at introducing the participants to the methodology of a simple business start-up known as "Lean Startup". A total of 7 participants attended this Pre-Incubator programme. In order to participate, candidates were required to prepare and submit a short business plan for an innovative environmental entrepreneurship product or service idea. The participants then had the opportunity to present their innovative business idea and meet with specialist consultants, experienced entrepreneurs and expert academics and receive free support, advice and guidance. The purpose of this Pre-Incubator mentoring scheme was to facilitate the actual business implementation of the original idea, so that the product and/or service can be marketed either domestically or abroad.
