Scaling-up skills training.

The energy transition is not business as usual: while the transition train is already moving, the tracks are often still being laid. With switches that were not predicted in advance. For entrepreneurs developing innovative products and services for a sustainable future, the journey rarely goes as planned. Innovative entrepreneurs, often start-ups and scale-ups, are busy developing their propositions. But more is needed to be successful in the complex energy transition market. That requires new skills. You will learn those skills in this Skills Training.

The program in detail

Increasing your market readiness is the core of the program. In seven modules with live sessions of half a day, participants will work with challenging exercises and self-study using an interactive workbook. It is important to openly share experiences so that participants can learn from each other and reflect together. This makes learning enjoyable and practical. This has been proven in all previous editions. Participants will receive active guidance and coaching, including one-on-one support when needed. A jury of experts from the field will help sharpen your proposition as much as possible.
