Eco-Talk 2021: Applications are open until May 15, 2021

In 2021, the annual International Green Business School "Eco-Talk" (School) on the basis of the Kazakh-German University (DKU) again opens  doors for young entrepreneurs from the Central Asia (CA). This School is an educational program for young entrepreneurs who want to develop  eco-business from scratch or make the existing business more environmentally friendly. More information about the School is available on the sites http://www.academic-waters.org/ and https://wecoop.eu and on the project page on Instagram @ ecotalk_incubator. Also find the informative booklet about the School and the Eco-Talk 2021 competition (in Russian).

During the 3 years of the program, we received 74 applications from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. 27 teams received intensive training, and 11 winners received grants from partners to develop their own business. The training included business planning blocks and environmental advice, such as closed-loop economics, water technology and water quality, and renewable energy development.

This year's programme is supported by the European Union (EU) project "European Union - Central Asia: Cooperation in Water, Environment and Climate Change" (WECOOP), the Central Asian Youth Water Association (CAY4W), the International Water Secretariat of Canada (ISW) and the Swiss Development and Cooperation Agency (SDC).

Registration of applications will be open until May 15, 2021. Reference to complete the request.

We invite university students or young professionals to study at our school.

We are waiting for innovative and promising eco-business ideas!
