Training and mentoring
The TRIANGLE Training & Mentoring Programme has officially set things in motion — and what a start it has been! As part of the EIT HEI Initiative, TRIANGLE is designed to nurture entrepreneurial thinking across Europe’s higher education landscape, engaging students, academic staff, and non-academic professionals in a transformative learning journey.
A Kick-off that Sparked Momentum
On October 13th, more than 650 participants from over 15 countries gathered for the official Kick-off Event. This enthusiastic turnout reflects a shared ambition: to bridge academia, industry, and society in meaningful ways that encourage innovation and collaboration.
The event marked the beginning of a programme where participants will immerse themselves in:
- The principles of open innovation
- Business model creation
- Strategic fundraising approaches
- Market validation methodologies
- Early-stage prototyping techniques
These pillars form the foundation of an experience built to turn promising academic ideas into ventures with real-world impact.
A Partnership Built on Diversity and Expertise
TRIANGLE is led by Barleti University and brings together a dynamic consortium from Greece, Cyprus, and Spain, including:
- Barleti University
- American University of Beirut – Mediterraneo
- Harokopio University of Athens
- S2 Xpeed
- Novelcore
- Center for Social Innovation (CSI)
Each partner contributes unique expertise — from research and education to entrepreneurship support and digital innovation.
Their collective strength fuels TRIANGLE’s mission: to reinforce Europe’s innovation ecosystem by empowering people with the skills to act, create, and lead.
Turning Knowledge Into Action
Innovation is not a solo effort; it is built through shared ambition, collaboration, and commitment. TRIANGLE embodies this mindset by offering participants an environment where ideas are tested, improved, and brought to life.
With the training programme now underway, the journey ahead promises growth, inspiration, and countless opportunities for meaningful impact.
We look forward to the stories, solutions, and ventures that will emerge over the coming months.
