The project involved three study visits to institutions from Norway and Slovenia which were ready to share knowledge and experience about green start-ups. The first study visit of Slovenian institutions to Norway took place from 3rd May to 1st June 2023. The second study visit was organised in Slovenia for Norwegian institutions. During both study visits, a total of 29 experts took part in expert discussions. In total, more than 20 good practices of the participating institutions were identified. The third study visit, which took place from 10th to 14th September 2023, included the participation of all project partners (Primorska Technology Park, Slovenia, Startup LAB, Park Hammar and Insj UiO from Norway). Meetings among partners and participants focused on the exchange of knowledge of similar institutions in the field of entrepreneurship, especially those aiming at young start-ups and entrepreneurs. The study visit was also an opportunity for young participants from Slovenia and Norway to meet and exchange knowledge and experience about green entrepreneurship and involvement in society. The participants also learned about the best practices in sustainable content implemented by innovative start-up companies in Norway and visited the city of Oslo, which is one of the most sustainable cities in the world.
