How to Create a Successful Business is the Topic of the Training Camps Organized by the RCDL-Haskovo

The training camps are part of the implementation of the project Promoting Entrepreneurship by Supporting Promising Innovative Ideas Through Pre-Incubating Mechanisms /CO WORKING/ in which UNWE is a partner along with the Faculty of Economics of Aristotle at University of Thessaloniki, the Alexandria Innovation Zone JSC in Thessaloniki and the National Company Industrial Zones JSC. The project has an objective to encourage not only the students of UNWE but also the entrepreneurs from the region of Haskovo to increase their business potential and to develop entrepreneurial initiatives in the cross-border areas of Bulgaria and Greece. It is funded by the INTERREG Greece-Bulgaria Programme 2014-2020 and so far five master classes have been held in 2022.

"The target group are the residents of Haskovo region, of course, we rely mostly on our students but we want to attract people who have ideas to develop their own business. The objective of these trainings is not to create a lot of start-up companies but rather to build self-awareness that a successful business is possible in the cross-border regions of Bulgaria and Greece, to explore opportunities for cooperation, joint activities with people or companies between the two regions and on this basis to look for the innovation in their business ideas", said Prof. Dr. Nikolay Shterev from the Industrial Business Department, Head of the project from the UNWE. 

The results of the work done during the first cycle of the project will be presented during an Information Day to be held on 31 January 2023. The best business ideas will be presented and certificates will be awarded to those who have completed the training during the first phase of the CO-WORKING project.
