Podcast | The project that makes life easier for entrepreneurs in the coal region of Zasavje

How does a region with no strong entrepreneurial tradition manage to create a culture of innovation, risk-taking, and community? In this episode, we meet Jernei Lipar, head of the EU-funded PONI project, who shares how old industrial areas are being transformed into hubs for new ideas and bold entrepreneurs.

In the fourth episode of the TOP JOBS podcast, part of the activities implemented under the European project “Career Transition of Opportunities,” you will hear:

• How the PONI project is changing people's attitudes toward entrepreneurship in Zasavje;
• How a community of people willing to take risks and support each other's new initiatives is being created;
• What practical skills and support are key to successfully starting your own business;
• How mentoring and strategic partnerships help new entrepreneurs take calculated risks.
