The objective of the INNO GREEN project is to boost joint collaboration between the innovation support agencies through peer learning, raise their competences in offering practical and innovative tools as a support to SMEs in innovative “green” entrepreneurship. The INNO GREEN project is lead by the LIR Evolution from Bosnia and Herzegovina and joined by the RDA Green Karst‘s Centre for Innovation and Development (Slovenia) and the Europaisches Zentrum Fur Erneuerbare Energie Gussing Gmbh (Austria).

The “Twinning advanced” methodology will be used as a basis for development of joint learning process between the project partners and increase of their competences in provision of efficient support to SMEs in “green” entrepreneurship. The INNO GREEN project will focus to upgrade existing competences and practices of innovation support agencies and develop innovative coaching/mentoring or other kinds of suitable programs in support of SMEs on their path to generation and development of green jobs. The special attention of the project will be focused to implementation of the pilot actions on green entrepreneurship in order to test the programs prepared: assessment of green jobs potential, interviews of SMEs, bottom-up work with “green” entrepreneurs, workshops, knowledge exchange, adaptation to local context and transfer of practical knowledge from one region to another, coaching/mentoring for specific skills related to “green” employment. The final result of the project will be the Design Option Paper (DOP) to serve as a practical guide for design and implementing of coaching/mentoring for SMEs on green entrepreneurship, which will be available on our website.
