The content is based on the reference framework by the European Commission
We work with this framework called EntreComp published by the European Commission. It is a comprehensive and flexible reference framework for the understanding and development of entrepreneurship as a competence. The framework perfectly aligns with the vision of our Lead F accelerator, which is building a Pan-European network of leaders with an entrepreneurial mindset.
Since 2016, EntreComp has become a key tool in creating a European entrepreneurial society. It creates a shared understanding of the knowledge, skills and attitudes that make up what it means to be entrepreneurial – discovering and acting upon opportunities and ideas, and transforming them into social, cultural, or financial value or others.
