Biodiversity Foundation Project: GREEN UP

Green UP aims to improve the skills of entrepreneurs in creating green and sustainable business models based on the circular economy, social innovation, and connecting with supportive European ecosystems that facilitate knowledge exchange.

The GREEN UP project aims not only to train and guide entrepreneurs toward green business models and the circularization of companies, but also to promote the exchange of experiences with other European stakeholders by fostering direct contact with potential partners and investors, inviting them to participate in green entrepreneurship acceleration methodologies.

The project targets a wide range of entrepreneurial profiles, enriching them with different perspectives and helping to launch diverse models, always based on the principles of the circular economy. Furthermore, we will have technical advisors (monitoring) to recruit entrepreneurs who are familiar with strategies for developing traditional business plans and who will provide skills and guidelines for circularizing businesses from their inception and bringing a green approach to companies.

The project will include various activities such as: "Green Up Weekend," "Pills to Circularize Businesses," and "Receive Your Circular Economy Mentor."

GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION: Andalusia, Region of Murcia and Asturias.

The project will have an impact on the Natura 2000 Network.

TARGETED AT: Entrepreneurs. Priority will be given to women, young people up to 35 years old, people over 45 years old, immigrants, people with disabilities, and residents of protected areas and/or rural zones.
