This training addresses an urgent need to strengthen entrepreneurial skills so that organisations can develop new income streams and take advantage of national and European opportunities. Innovation and entrepreneurship are essential if we are to tackle the growing challenges facing our water systems, communities and environment.
It is funded by the Poul Due Jensen Foundation through EIT Water and will be delivered by Nexus, ICASP and water@leeds.
The interactive sessions bring together professionals from across the water, flooding and environmental sectors to explore new approaches to solving complex challenges.
Over the three practical sessions, participants will learn how to identify opportunities, design solutions and build the case for implementation using proven innovation and entrepreneurial thinking tools. They will work on challenges from their own organisation, collaborate with peers from across the sector, and leave with practical outputs that can be applied immediately.
