PPPT acceleration program
It is a joint initiative of the Płock Industrial and Technological Park and the Women's Entrepreneurship Foundation. The program was addressed to entrepreneurs, people planning to set up and run their own business, as well as those who care about the development of an existing venture.
Over twenty people with innovative ideas were given the opportunity to participate in training and mentoring meetings free of charge.
The acceleration program consisted of the following elements:
SKILLSHARE Workshops of the Women's Entrepreneurial Network - 5 training modules (7 training days) from February to June 2020. Example topics:
- business modeling,
- sale,
- legal and accounting aspects,
- finances,
- social media,
- marketing,
- negotiations,
- sources of funding.
Business workshop - establishing a mentoring relationship between the mentor and the program participant (5 months, 1 meeting a month in Warsaw, Skype or in a form agreed between the mentor and the mentee).
Networking workshops – for program participants in Płock and Warsaw, stimulating mutual support and business relations.
The first block of support implemented under the acceleration program was the organization of a series of trainings and workshops. During them, the participants received a package of soft knowledge. Thanks to it, they learned, for example, how crucial it is to build a virtual reality for a new company or how to raise funds for business development.
As part of participation in the acceleration program, each of the new entrepreneurs could count on the support and advice of people with an established position in the business world. The list of our mentors includes experienced female entrepreneurs. In this way, they could give program participants practical guidance on business models, how to implement individual services or legal aspects.
