Mission Statement
Green business, also referred to as sustainable or environmentally friendly business, is becoming increasingly important. Individuals who wish to start a company today should decide from the outset to establish a green enterprise.
Go4DiGREEN aims to provide these individuals with ideas and ways to produce and operate in an environmentally conscious manner, which can be partially achieved with simple means and also lead to long-term cost-effectiveness. The achievement of the ambitious goals of the EU Green Deal will also depend on the engagement of migrants. Newcomers have the potential to make a significant contribution to the transformation towards climate neutrality and serve as climate ambassadors.
We want to empower people to unleash their potential and contribute positively to economic development through green entrepreneurship.
Our goal is to support entrepreneurs and newcomers in the EU while simultaneously protecting the environment sustainably.
Therefore, we provide learning materials that are in line with the digital age, informative, engaging, and easy to understand.
Go4DiGREEN is a European innovation that has the potential to be replicated worldwide, thereby multiplying its impact.
In doing so, Go4DiGREEN makes a significant contribution to the European Green Deal.

Digital training program and learning platform
This online training program comprises a total of 15 modules. It is primarily but not exclusively aimed at migrants who want to start a green and thus sustainable business in the EU.
The training materials have been developed on the basis of the European competence frameworks DigComp and EntreComp and contain all important information to start a green business or to transform an already existing business into a green one.
Design Thinking
Following the design thinking approach, we involved both experts and representatives of the target group (newcomers to the European Union) in the development of the training program from the very beginning.
Introductory videos
At the beginning of each module there is a short introductory video that informs interested participants about the most important contents of the module.
Accessibility and simple language
We have placed particular emphasis on simple language in the learning materials and have designed the materials to be accessible as far as possible. Learn more about this in our Accessibility Statement by KOENA.
