Objective(s)

CBVI has the objective to demonstrate a social and learner-centric entrepreneurship environment for the acceleration of new starters and knowledge exchange. It intends to sustain a (networked) platform, conducive to the training of learners and start-ups.

It aims to sustain a social and learner-centric entrepreneurship environment, which is benign to the sharing of resources on market conditions, access to finance, technology, culture, legislation, showcases and practice models.

Strategically: CBVI aims to improve discussion and cooperation between HE institutions (both education and research-based) and regional stakeholders, to optimise opportunities for entrepreneurship and university ecosystem.

Tactically: CBVI aims to support business planning & tenant incubation, utilising social and professional media & networking as a contributor to entrepreneurial success.

Operationally: CBVI intends to demonstrate that start-ups can utilise contemporary open tools, technologies and services, in order to decrease thresholds of enterprise creation.
