Are you an early stage sustainable / circular business looking to validate your idea? Or are you an existing SME with a circularity project to deliver internally in the business?
If your answer is YES to any of these questions, the Strategic Entrepreneur Programme may be for you. In collaboration with the Hincks Centre for Entrepreneurship Excellence and the Ludgate Hub we are running a specialised training programme, funded through the Target Circular project. Our aim is simple, to increase sustainable SMEs success.
The programme is free to participants and fosters strategic thinking, assumption validation and decision-making skills using novel effective evidence-based tools recently proven to increase entrepreneurial success.
We are interested in applications from all currently trading businesses, in particular those with an interest in sustainability.
The programme will start on January 23rd, 2024 and will consist of six sessions.
