On 13 October 2025, we conducted the combined mentoring session for Groups 1 and 2 at the BUPNET premises in Göttingen. Due to participants’ limited availability, the three mentoring phases were delivered in one extended session. This format worked well, as many participants had already taken part in the motivational workshop and arrived with clear ideas and strong energy.
Building on the reflection tools used earlier, the group worked intensively on shaping early-stage business concepts with a sustainability dimension. Participants collaborated in pairs and changing small groups, refining ideas, identifying competences and clarifying next steps. Discussions were lively, constructive and often highly creative, showing strong motivation to explore green entrepreneurship from different perspectives.
The session closed with participants outlining their next steps, including targeted research, further skills development and consultation with local stakeholders. We were pleased to see how confidently the group engaged with the process and how effectively peer learning supported idea development.
