The project aims to support the EU transition to the CE by improving/enhancing the circular business skills in the olive oil sector in Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal and Croatia, in order to promote the adoption of circular entrepreneurial models for waste and by-product valorization of the whole olive oil value chain. More specifically, it aims at: 1. Boosting adaptation of VET provision to emerging circular business skills needs by designing transnational curricula. This is important in shaping VET system responses to cope with CE transition of the olive sector. 2. Building small operators’ skills on the implementation of circular business models and on deep tech domains in agro-food sector, and stimulating a sense of initiative entrepreneurial attitudes and mind-sets across the olive oil value chain, enabling them to become innovative and more competitive e.g. launching new services/products etc. 3. Facilitating the flow and co-creation of knowledge between higher education and vocational and training, research, the public sector and the business sector and/or other stakeholders, in Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal and Croatia to support/promote the development and implementation of holistic circular business models for olive waste and by-product valorisation for the transition of the olive oil sector to CE.
