4th partner meeting in Leeuwarden
June 2019
In June 2019 partners gathered together with the national winners of Start-up Women’s Cup in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. Besides the regular agenda to track the progress of the project, there was one even more important task – to pick a European winner amongst all the national winners. It was certainly not an easy task, but based on the Hillary canvases and pitch delivery, the judges have chosen Verde Agua (Spain) - an ecological consulting enterprise focused on dealing with the plastics issue, including labour environment, production and supply chain. It was created by young social female entrepreneurs, Sofia, Andrea and Luna. Read more about the competition HERE!
3rd partner meeting in Greenwich
November 2018
Partners met for the 3rd time at “home” of our British partner, University of Greenwich. A vital step was taken into the finalization of the educational materials, for which we cannot wait to present to the future female entrepreneurs. The HILLARY Canvas that we have developed especially for this purpose will give those students a complete overview and guidance on many aspects of creating an enterprise. Looking back and also forward at the project, the partners are happy to say the goal is close!
2nd Partner Meeting in Milan
May 2018
On the 14th and 15th of May 2018 the second partner meeting took place in Milan. Eurocrea Merchant hosted the meeting in BASE Milano. Base is a place where innovative projects in the cultural and creative enterprise sector are developed and carried out. A space unique designed to foster creativity and concentration. This was very inspirational for the partners.
During the meeting the structure and content of the Hillary course was discussed. The course will be divided into ten blocks: Purpose (Introduction), Customers & Beneficiaries, Market Research, Value Proposition, Revenue Model, Marketing Plan, Key Stakeholders, Key Resources, Implementation and Financial Plan. Each block contains an activity that will result in the Hillary Canvas; a business model to transform an idea into a business opportunity.
The next meeting will take place at the premises of the University of Greenwich in London on the 8th and 9th of November 2018.
