First cohorts of the B-Innovative project about entrepreneurship were successfully completed

In this world of downsizing, restructuring and technological change, traditional careers have been challenged. People are depending more upon their own initiative to realize success. This situation underpins the B-Innovative project which aims to encourage people to take the decision to ‘start their own business’.

Young entrepreneurs have been identified as contributors for the reduction of unemployment. However, they face multiple barriers such as poor access to comprehensive support packages.

B-Innovative is based around the background IPR of the "Basics of Building a Business Lectures" series developed and delivered at the University of Bedfordshire, United Kingdom. The lectures have been running since 2005 with over a thousand participants from student groups and the local community. The original content and format of the B3 Lectures will be re-developed for a European audience.

The programme will be delivered over three years by successful business people in five European countries guiding participants through the essential stages of starting and growing a business.

The first cohorts were realised in the UK, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Find out more http://www.b-innovative.org/News/News-Artikel/
