Danube Chance 2.0 aims to facilitate improved policy learning between policymakers and government agencies, research institutes and universities, financially distressed enterprises (currently involved in insolvency procedure or already bankrupt but ready for a fresh re-start), business accelerators and the public to deliver innovative policy designs enabling formerly bankrupt entrepreneurs restart as second-chance in the Danube region.
The project will provide a path for more legitimate entrepreneurs whose first businesses have failed to re-enter the market through delivering 130 hours of "blended" learning experiences at the ‘Trial and Error‘ Re-Design Transnational Academy”, and the launch of the first "Business Re-Structuring Initiative", which will provide business acceleration support for approximately 60 legitimate entrepreneurs whose first projects failed.
