Sustainable Technologies Business Acceleration Hub — ONLINE Entrepreneur’s Programme
Due to the current isolation rules the Entrepreneur’s Programme will be held virtually over 3 days. There will be 3 modules held each day for 4 hours. Support will be provided to delegates via interactive sessions, peer to peer feedback and mentoring from trainers — exactly like a live face to face workshop. Sessions will be held via Zoom and its breakout rooms.
The Entrepreneurship Programme focusses on the key elements of early-stage business growth, such as identifying the market opportunity and building a business plan. This will primarily be for very early-stage businesses which have been operating for under 12 months.
