We aim to bridge innovations with markets. To do so, we focus on facilitating events and activities (such as conferences and webinars), building curriculums that could be implemented in educational organizations, and designing learning material and instructional platforms.
Also, we help startups and SMEs expand their networks and disseminate their products to commercialize them, and reach a level of investor readiness!
As an organization we have a rich portfolio of building learning platforms, designing learning material, making research and need analysis, creating websites, and creating networks of interested trainees willing to learn new skills. Also, our team has plenty of experience in project management and product development from Private Sector projects and previous Erasmus+ Projects.
We are addressing to next generation by trying to build learning subjects that increase critical thinking, digital readiness, learnability, analytical thinking, etc, and to help vulnerable people (such as unemployed, non-educates, imprisoned, etc) increase their employability, both with soft skills but mostly on hard skills.
Our team has great experience as individuals in implementing EU projects since we have been working on different organizations and institutions since 2017. Still, we decided to combine our strengths to make a bigger impact through our project’s outcomes. Over the last years, we have managed to build a strong and healthy international network with partners all over the European Union and also a local micro-community of stakeholders like VET Schools, Universities, schools, SMEs, and a lot of startups that are willing to embed innovations but need help on finding them.
