Dear interested readers,
first of all a late, but warm “happy new year”! We hope you had a great, successful start in 2022.
During the holidays between the years 2021 and 2022, we developed or better, finished the learning modules of IO2. In total we created six modules to explain the needs of entrepreneurship and starting a business.
The titles of the modules are as follows:
- Module 1: Finding the right Idea and shaping it into an Opportunity
- Understand the basics of planning the new business idea, how to plan and think critically (realistically)
- Module 2: Forms of Entrepreneurships
- Module 3: Realistic Planning and Business Models
- Planning the business idea – developing a BUSINESS PLAN or creating a BUSINESS CANVAS, choosing the right BUSINESS MODEL
- Module 4: Basics of Marketing and Branding
- Basics of MARKETING and BRANDING (incl. name of the business idea)
- Module 5: Basics of Financing Planning
- Module 6: Common Mistakes and learning from failures
- Common MISTAKES that can be avoided already in the start.

Additional to the learning modules the consortium created mentoring and coaching modules for the Start- up entrepreneurs. To demonstrate the working process of the partners, the consortium used the working platform miro, to brainstorm ideas, contents and solutions for the modules. In the next days, we will spread the links of the coaching and mentoring links here, too.
