The European Digital Innovation Hub for North Central Region’s entrepreneurial program aims to support the development of innovative business ideas and start-ups through a combination of training, expert support, and individual mentoring.

The program is aimed at entrepreneurs, start-ups, teams, and individuals with a start-up idea who want to develop their project, structure a sustainable business model, and prepare to enter the market or attract investment.

As part of the program, participants will undergo a training phase, which will take place between March 25 and April 12. The training includes thematic modules related to the entrepreneurial process, the development and validation of a business idea, the basics of business modeling, market positioning, financing start-ups, as well as legal and administrative aspects of starting a business.

After the training stage, participants will continue with a mentoring program from April 15 to May 12, during which each participant will receive between 10 and 15 hours of individual work with a mentor. The mentoring support is aimed at further developing the business idea, structuring the business model, analyzing market opportunities, and preparing for effective presentation of the project.

As a final stage of the program, a pitching event will be organized for investors by the end of June, where participants will have the opportunity to present their ideas and developed projects to business representatives, investors, and experts.

The program provides an opportunity to gain practical knowledge, expert feedback, and build contacts in the entrepreneurial and investment ecosystem.
