How might we help young entrepreneurs make sustainable businesses?
The Greenovations project responds to calls for exploration and development of structures and mechanisms to support the identification, ideation, and development of solutions by start-ups to attract funding and absorb large capital, thus going beyond early-stage green start-ups to growing, and mature green innovation enterprises.
Connect entrepreneurs with sustainable suppliers
Create an online platform where young entrepreneurs can easily find and connect with local and sustainable suppliers for their business needs, promoting sustainability in their supply chains.
Wi-Fi Hub for Sustainable Startups
Create a physical and virtual space for young entrepreneurs to connect, collaborate and access resources to build sustainable businesses. The hub could offer co-working spaces, high-speed Wi-Fi, mentorship programs, and access to funding opportunities.
Sustainable Fashionista
Partner with local fashion designers to create a sustainable clothing line that supports young entrepreneurs and uses eco-friendly materials. Host fashion shows and pop-up shops to showcase the designs and provide opportunities for these entrepreneurs to connect with customers.
