From idea to market: Group 7 PONI RRA Koroška already with four new entrepreneurial stories
In the last month of the project PONI RRA Koroška 7th group can boast of an exceptional achievement – four participants turned their entrepreneurial idea into a concrete business story and founded their own business entity. Koroška is thus richer for four new entrepreneurs who bravely took the first step on their independent entrepreneurial path.
From the first idea, the first questions and doubts to the moment when you have to step in front of the market, it is often a long journey. That is why the purpose of the PONI project is to create an environment where individuals can test their idea, upgrade it and prepare it for the real business world. Through a four-month program, participants acquire entrepreneurial skills, develop a business model, research the market, test their products and, with the support of mentors, form the foundations for a successful start-up of a company.
Reception with the director RRA Koroška
At this important milestone, they were welcomed by RRA Koroška director Uroš Rozman , who congratulated them on their courage, perseverance, and decision to bring their idea to market.
Rozman emphasized that stories like these are the greatest proof that the entrepreneurial programs implemented by RRA Koroška create concrete results.
"Every new entrepreneurial story starts with an idea, but an idea alone is not enough. It takes knowledge, perseverance, market testing and, above all, the courage to take the first step. I am proud that at RRA Koroška we can create an environment where individuals receive support, knowledge and encouragement to turn their ideas into companies. Four new business entities from one PONI group are great proof that the project creates value for the region – not only in numbers, but above all in people and their stories."
The PONI project thus not only creates new businesses, but also strengthens the entrepreneurial culture in the region, encourages creativity and helps individuals recognize their own entrepreneurial opportunities.
