Empowering Food Entrepreneurs
F4BT Erasmus+ project has created an interactive simulation game. This game is designed to enhance managerial skills and soft skills in the Food & Beverage sector. Users will face various challenges and unexpected events, making choices that will shape their entrepreneurial path. There are no right or wrong answers; it’s all about different choices and paths. Their goal is to grow their business, whether by satisfying customers, empowering their employees, making strategic marketing decisions, or managing their finances wisely.
Commitment to Green Transition
EntreComp for Transition is dedicated to developing innovative, multidisciplinary teaching and learning approaches that will pave the way for the future Green Transition Facilitator.
