Franjina ekonomija Hrvatska

Just over a month remains until our second incubator program, and the excitement is building. We would like to encourage everyone who is still wondering whether to join us by sharing what you can expect from this experience. Our goal is to help you see how this incubator can support you in developing your business idea or strengthening the quality and purpose of the business you already run.

Here’s a glimpse of what awaits you if you join the program:

• The EoF Incubator on the island of Krapanj offers a one-week intensive program designed for entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs who want to develop businesses rooted in purpose, sustainability, and solidarity.

• The program focuses especially on the development of non-extractive business models, or, if business is already established, on the transition from extractive to non-extractive business models, helping participants rethink how value is created, shared, and sustained within the economy.

• Through lectures, workshops, and collaborative project work, participants will explore the principles of the Catholic social teaching and their practical application in business.

• During the incubator, participants will gain knowledge about entrepreneurship, circular and community-based economic models, and alternative ownership structures such as steward ownership.

• Participants will learn how to design minimum viable products (MVP), sustainable business ideas, how to develop a basic non-extractive business model, and assess the social and environmental impact of their projects.

• The program also strengthens practical skills in teamwork, creative problem solving, and communicating a business vision to partners and mentors.

• Working closely with mentors and other participants, attendees will refine their entrepreneurial ideas and develop concrete project proposals.

• By the end of the program, participants will be equipped with the tools, mindset, and networks needed to build businesses that generate value for people, communities, and the environment rather than extracting it.
