GreenTech Entrepreneurship Challenge – participate in positive changes!

Recognizing the importance of green technologies in business, the GreenTech Entrepreneurship Challenge project was launched in cooperation with Startup Macedonia and Zagreb Wastewater. The project is implemented simultaneously in Croatian and Macedonian secondary schools and is co-financed by the European Union’s Erasmus+ program.

Students will have the opportunity to participate in one of 3 challenges, to which they will come up with the best solution through this project, and will subsequently have the opportunity to present it in front of everyone, and maybe even win the main prize.

The GreenTech Entrepreneurship Challenge is a competition for students of higher grades of technical high schools with the aim of designing innovations in the field of green technology and developing an entrepreneurial way of thinking through practical work.

As many as 200 students from 10 schools from Macedonia and Croatia participate in the project. In Croatia, the following schools are taking part in the challenge:

1. Industrial-craft school Slatina,

2. Secondary school Krapina,

3. Technical School Čakovec,

4. Electrical Engineering School Varaždin i

5. Technical school Virovitica.

In addition to having the opportunity to learn about green technologies, students will have the opportunity to hear first-hand about existing solutions on the Croatian market. The Croatian Startups that will present their solutions are:

1. Seacras,

2. NUOTWO i

3. Magic Forest Ltd.

At the end of the project, students will develop greentech solutions that respond to the following challenges:

1. How to get energy from waste water?

2. How to protect forests and increase afforestation using technologies?

3. How to increase the use of renewable energy sources for electricity production in Croatia?

Participating schools will have a unique opportunity for students to participate in school and inter-school competitions and learn about green technologies and how to apply them in a practical way.
