Project Aim
Rural entrepreneurs often face serious challenges due to limited access to training, innovation, and exposure to sustainable models. To tackle these issues, reGreen was launched as a collaborative international initiative to support rural entrepreneurs in building resilient, circular, and digitally-competent businesses.
Through this project, we aim to:
- Transfer knowledge on circular and resource-efficient business models
- Provide digital tools and entrepreneurial training
- Empower participants to recover from COVID-19 setbacks and strengthen community resilience
Project Objectives
✅ Strengthen connections among entrepreneurially minded people in rural areas
✅ Support access to training on Circular Economy (CE) approaches
✅ Promote Green Responsible Entrepreneurship (GREntrepreneurship)
✅ Empower rural entrepreneurs to lead community resilience efforts
✅ Support stakeholders to maintain sustainable practices
✅ Build organizational knowledge in circular and digital solutions
✅ Bridge the urban–rural gap in entrepreneurship resources
Approach
We use a multidisciplinary and practical approach that emphasizes:
- Real-world application of circular economy concepts
- Digital upskilling in business development
- Inclusive and co-creative learning environments
- Collaboration and knowledge exchange between rural and urban participants
Target Groups
Our target groups include:
- Rural entrepreneurs and prospective entrepreneurs
- Trainers, educators, and local development agents
- Organizations working in entrepreneurship, sustainability, or rural development
- Stakeholders and end-users engaged via Open House Events (at least 15 participants per partner)
Each partner will run active promotional campaigns and possibly conduct surveys to ensure alignment with project goals.
Impact
