One-Year Impact Of Innovation Entrepreneurship eLearning Assets By Startup Commons

1200+ potential new entrepreneurs, 700+ trainers, 1.3M+ Euros worth of accumulating value created by Startup Commons in innovation entrepreneurship ecosystems during the COVID19 pandemic

It’s been more than a year since the pandemic changed the way we live and work. We changed a lot of habits and we missed the physical interactions but at the same time we could see how people gave the best of them when others were in need. We saw solidarity was stronger than ever. A huge wave of help of different kinds swept the whole world. 

Startup Commons was also part of that solidarity wave. With our humble contribution, we essentially wanted none to be left behind as we understood that this pandemic would go beyond the health boundaries, having strong socioeconomic implications. 

We opened all our innovation entrepreneurship eLearning assets to help create an opportunity for anyone from anywhere in the world, to be better prepared for the positive opportunities during and after this pandemic. By opening as fully free for everyone, we wanted to contribute to empower people and organisations towards building a more vibrant business environment for entrepreneurs, startups and SMEs in general, and also for individuals to create new opportunities, jobs and new businesses.

​Next Steps
Startup Commons will continue having these eLearning resources free and accessible for anyone, anywhere, forever. We continue working hard to produce more content and facilitate tools to spread innovation entrepreneurship knowledge in each of the corners of this world. 
We did the first big step last year and now again we are taking another big one. From now on all the Startup Commons eLearning assets will be ready for your local distribution and to be embedded into your own digital channels, portals, eLearning platforms, etc.
