U-SOLVE final conference on fostering entrepreneurship and innovation for a sustainable urban transition
Five years after the launch of the U-SOLVE project, an online final conference is set to mark its culmination before its completion. The project, funded by the EU through the ENI CBC Med Programme, aimed to create a model for sustainable urban development by fostering innovative entrepreneurship and addressing sustainable development challenges. It sought to boost urban business ecosystems and generate job opportunities in emerging social and environmental markets.
The main objective of U-SOLVE was to establish a supportive process for young and female entrepreneurs operating in urban areas with a focus on sustainable development and positive environmental impact. This initiative spanned six countries, namely Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, Italy, Jordan, and Palestine. By developing experimental pathways for place-based strategies, the project aimed to cater to the unique needs of Mediterranean countries while promoting sustainable and integrated local development.
Organized by the Cyprus Institute (CyI), the lead beneficiary of U-SOLVE, the two day- final conference will take place online on November 29, and 30. Hosting presentations, discussions, and interactive sessions, the event aims to share information about the project's progress, achievements, and outcomes. It is open to interested stakeholders and members of the public, providing an opportunity for open dialogue among participants.
Day one of the event will be a meeting only for the partners of the project, where they will showcase the results of the supportive process and ventures of the young and female entrepreneurs addressing sustainable development challenges in urban areas in the Mediterranean through the support U-SOLVE project.
Day two of the conference will the "U-SOLVE Open Workshop" be a public event which will includes talks and presentations from experts, researchers, start uppers, and panel discussions in urban development topics:
- Circular Economy
- Green Energy
- Urban Sustainable Transition
- Water and Food Management.
