Deliverables

Four action plans to implement the activities (opens in new window)

Analysis of the results from the cross-ecosystem co-creation workshop series and creation of action plans for each entrepreneurial education and support activity (4 action plans summarised in one document).

Mentoring programme – detailed programme (opens in new window)

RAPIV and involved businesses will prepare the design of the mentoring programme including multiple steps: scouting, call for mentors, matchmaking, sessions, challenges.

Potential & skills-biographies’ analyses, one for each ecosystem (opens in new window)

We plan to conduct five skills-biographies in each ecosystem (15 in total), which will be then analysed and compared within a report.

A list of co-ideation challenges (opens in new window)

We will conduct a co-ideation challenge (series) with the identified partners and future founders. (1 event per cohort planned).

Awareness Campaign to address students (opens in new window)

Awareness Campaign to address students.
