Every entrepreneurial story begins with an idea – now yours can begin. PONI RRA Koroška opens applications for Group 6
All great stories were once just an idea that dared to start. And we will soon give space, support and momentum to just such ideas. PONI RRA Koroška creates an environment where ideas are transformed into companies, and individuals discover their strength, confidence and entrepreneurial mindset. Here, imagination meets knowledge – and entrepreneurial ideas become reality.
Now is the right time to start creating your story.
The Regional Development Agency for Koroško is opening applications for the 6th group of the project Entrepreneurial over Challenges in the Carinthia region – PONI Koroška 2023–2028. PONI is an entrepreneurial program that allows individuals to develop their business idea from the first idea to a viable business plan in four months, while gaining concrete knowledge and experience that lead to an independent entrepreneurial path.
A special feature of the program is paid employment for the duration of the training, which allows participants to fully devote themselves to developing their business idea. With the support of mentors, lecturers and the entrepreneurial community, they develop their potential, test ideas on the market and prepare to launch a company.
Who can apply?
The project is intended for anyone with a business idea – regardless of age, education or current employment. Candidates with permanent or temporary residence in the Carinthia region who are willing to sign an employment contract on the day of inclusion can apply.
What do you gain?
- 4-month full-time employment,
- entrepreneurial training and workshops,
- individual mentoring from internal and external experts,
- support in preparing a business plan and testing the idea on the market,
- working in a stimulating environment with like-minded people,
- the opportunity to start your own business after completing the program.
Why PONI?
In the PONI program, we accompany you every step of the way - from the first thought to the first sale, from idea to confident entrepreneur.
Every group PONI RRA Koroška so far has proven that ideas that seemed uncertain can be turned into successful business stories – if you develop them in an environment where you have knowledge, mentorship, and community support.
Every journey begins with the first step, even an entrepreneurial one. Let's do it together - join the PONI RRA Koroška project.
