Capacity building and knowledge sharing are key ingredients of local entrepreneurial ecosystems, enabling entrepreneurs to access relevant information and support new ventures. In the JUSTNature project, we are co-designing an ๐๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ (EAP) to connect multiple actors in local entrepreneurial ecosystems and start thinking about NBS.
The goal of EAP is to provide support for nature-based enterprises to grow and upscale in local contexts. Last week, our researcher Chiara Pellegrini presented the JUSTNature "Entrepreneurial Activation Process" at the EURAM23 Conference at the Trinity College Campus in Dublin. The conference was an excellent opportunity to share our JUSTNature preliminary results on EAP and we received the feedback that will be used to better structure EAP integrating prominent research on entrepreneurship and innovation.
