ENTRANT Digital eLearning Platform for SMEs
The project "Enhancing International Trade and Entrepreneurial Capacities of Incubators through a Digital Platform" (ENTRANT) aims to promote learning opportunities in topics such as entrepreneurship, digital skills, and other essential skills for operating incubators within tech parks. A digital platform will be developed to support the sustainability of businesses in incubators, newly established enterprises, associations requiring entrepreneurial support, and startups. The incubator's digital learning platform will ensure that anyone starting a new business is aware of the opportunities available. The platform will be developed as a resource for the professional growth of employees in tech park incubators, consultancy firms, and other adult education programs. Entrepreneurship training in adult education will be supported through the MOOC platform and a digital mentorship program, assisting employees and trainers involved in adult education programs (mentors and academics). Additionally, the project will focus on enhancing the digital proficiency of the target groups.
