FOR WHAT PURPOSE DO WE PROCESS YOUR DATA?
The aim of the project is to tackle two pressing challenges facing Europe today. First, we’re combating the scarcity of entrepreneurs, driven not only by demographic shifts but also by the declining appeal of business succession. Second, we’re reshaping the mindset of future business leaders, developing wise entrepreneurs.

Through a dynamic c-VET curriculum, blending online learning and immersive workshops, we instill responsible and sustainable decision-making skills. Our innovative Wise Up Game seamlessly integrates these values into daily practice. Ultimately, we aspire to make SMEs’ business succession more attractive and offer a blueprint for fostering wisdom, sustainability, and responsibility in entrepreneurial decision-making, supporting the growth and resilience of European SMEs. Join us in this transformative journey.
