Regional Playpark’s focus

No, we focus on students and other groups of non-entrepreneurs and future entrepreneurs (pre-accelerator program focused on early stage start-ups with no corporate personality/found company yet, taking them from concept to solid business model) and enable all participants focused on any branch to participate in the program in order not to limit the interest in the program and ensure diversity of the project topics within the group.

Needs of the start-ups brought into the training programme

Start-ups needs:

  • move from their particular stage at the time of the beginning of the training program to the next stage/s (varies)
  • move from no corporate personality to found and start a small company
  • gain entrepreneurial skills, information and experience
  • consult their projects/business plans with professionals and
  • networking and gaining business contacts

Our aim:

  • enable the participants to experience/attend an attractive international training and mentoring program
  • help them to move at least from concept to a solid business model stage
  • help them to produce a solid business model and an attractive investor pitch video
  • help them to gain/improve practical entrepreneurial skills, information and experience
  • enable them to consult their projects/business plans with our mentors and lecturers
  • enable them national/international networking experience and gaining business contacts
  • create a friendly and supportive community and enable the participants to receive/give feedback to their projects also among themselves
  • enable them to experience and improve pitching and presentation skills also by attending a specialized training workshop on this topic and participating in the  regional pitching event in English with the presence of investors
  • improve their practical English language skills
