EntreCompFood project partners are sharing their thoughts on the entrepreneurial competence they find important for them.

The JRC - Joint Research Centre, on behalf of DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, has developed a definition of entrepreneurship as a competence and a reference framework describing it, the Entrepreneurship Competence Framework (EntreComp). It aims to provide evidence-based scientific support to the European policy-making process. The entrepreneurship competence is increasingly recognised as a competence for life, relevant to personal development and fulfilment, finding and progressing in employment, as well as initiating new ventures ranging from community campaigns, social enterprises to new start-up businesses.

Identify your personal strengths by answering the self-assessment questionnaire on Entrepreneurial competences modified by EntreCompFood project.

Within EntreCompFood project the entrepreneurship spirit award was created and celebrated at Ecotrophelia 2022. Three main steps to award the winner were:

- Students learnt about entrepreneurship competences and had a possibility to enrol into the EIT-Food on-line training on entrepreneurship Inspire4Ecotrophelia.

- Students evaluate their progress with self-assessments questionnaire.

- Jury selection of a winning team  on Entrepreneurship based on their report & product pitch presentation.

The first EntreCompFood award was given during the Ecotrophelia Europe Competition 2022 during SIAL. The prize was given to the team which had the biggest average within the chosen set of entrepreneurship competencies. The winner was “Sauces Papillon” a team, that had developed a new conservation technique that is implemented on their process, so it keeps the product fresh after the production. The reason of obtaining the higher score can be explained by the already created company and the establishment of the manufacture from obtaining seasonal ingredients to the production of the sauces.
