Green StartUppers nurtured green entrepreneurship competencies within the VET community, offering students the chance to acquire, apply and actualise innovative, sustainable business concepts. The project instigated a favourable environmental influence and a deep appreciation for sustainable development among the younger generation, while enriching the capabilities of VET educators and staff.
