RESET GUIDEBOOK OF PROJECT OUTPUTS
RESET focused on identifying, gathering, analysing and synthesising knowledge regarding how to best support
sustainable and green entrepreneurs and start-ups.
Throughout the process, RESET adopted a Capitalisation Framework aiming to define the methodology needed to
achieve the above-mentioned objective.
The Capitalisation Framework included the following questions:
1. Where is the knowledge?
2. What is the knowledge?
3. What knowledge is needed?
4. How to use the knowledge?
This Guidebook demonstrates how RESET responded to these questions through the various activities conducted
throughout the project
