The Bootcamp
The aim of Bootcamp is to inspire – through the stories of successful entrepreneurs from Slovakia, and abroad, who are dedicated to sustainable business.
In addition to that, during the Bootcamp, participants will familiarize themselves with the concept of Design-Thinking approach. In which the human is put at the centre and its needs are solved through a creative problem solving method.
The 4days Training
During the 4days Training period, you will develop your ideas. The course will provide direct contact with potential customers, in this way you can directly receive feedback from them and improve your product/service. With the support of mentors you will develop a prototype, which you can use to test your idea, to get quick and effective feedback and eventually to refine your solution.
The goal of the 4-day training is to come up with tangible solutions for human needs that are in relation to the negative effects of climate change
The GTL Training
In the last phase of the GTL project, mentors will guide you through the discovery of the main topics and tools of the business development process.
