Objective

The aim of this initiative is to improve the support that the Council provides to people who have created a new company or developed an innovative project, promoting knowledge on issues such as business model, digital marketing or communication.

Year after year, the evaluations of the projects submitted to the different foreign aid programs show an imbalance in the entrepreneurial knowledge, and it is common, for example, for entrepreneurs to show a good technological or product domain, but also certain gaps that hamper the progress of their projects.

Alleviating and strengthening the capabilities of those who decide to set up a business from the outset is what this program seeks, which is composed of 4 modules and a practical workshop of 2 or 3 sessions each and will be developed between February and May 2024.
