Project Summary

Professional orientation and training, theoretical and practical entrepreneurial knowledge (as a part of our curricula and cooperation with professional instructors and industrial partners) are parts of the educational programmes in all of our partner schools. Our team has a solid experience in European projects in thematically similar fields (renewable energy) and has developed cooperative skills. In this way we have created a firm basis for the new project making it a natural continuation of the previous ones.

The innovation consists in reaching a better level in cooperation by sharing a common educational path to reach autonomous high level performance in entrepreneurship to compete in the labour market of environmentally-friendly issues. Such an aim requires a protected framework to train and develop the sustainable and green startups.

Sustainability, environment issues and entrepreunership have already been central thematic topics of the previous projects carried out since 2009.

The project E.Y.E. (Keep an Eye on Your Environment) involved three of the six present partners. During the course of the E.Y.E. project these partners dealt with different types of natural energy sources: solar energy, wind energy, bio-gas energy. One of the products was the installation of photovoltaics panels on the roof of the Osterburken, Germany. The electricity that has been generated by this installation is transferred into the regional electricity net and in this way they minimize their electricity bill.

The realized photovoltaic system was then the basis of the central idea of the project S.P.E.E.D.: it was the energy source of the main product of our European cooperation, that is the first e-filling station for e-cars and e-bikes in Osterburken (Germany).
The realization of such an aim passed through the creation of a transnational enterprise where each partner represented different departments of the common firm thus developing an entrepreneurial know-how.

Now, the present project can be considered as the logical follow up of this fruitfull longterm cooperation among the six European partners.

The project will deal with the analysis, preparation and set up of new startups on environmentally-friendly concepts.
