Dominicans interested in participating in the Greenpreneurs Incubator program of the Eastern Caribbean Green Entrepreneurship Initiative have until September 26 to register for the second cohort.
Following the success of its initial cohort in 2021, the Eastern Caribbean Green Entrepreneurship Initiative has relaunched a 2nd round of the incubator program which is designed to support micro, small and medium sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the Eastern Caribbean region.
Applications for the second cohort of the program are now open here and will be accepted until September 26.
Through this program, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), in partnership with the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission, provides 12 weeks of virtual training, mentorship, coaching, and networking opportunities to local green entrepreneurs. The selected individuals & teams also have the chance to secure up to USD$10,000 in seed funding through the Business Plan Competition to further unleash the potential of their green businesses and showcase innovative solutions to tackle climate change and enhance sustainability in the region.
