Training Week 2
Plenary session with Mr. Reza ZADEH, Director of the Foundation
First week of February 2020, the city of Minsk hosted the second chapter of the training programme “Belarus: Capacity Building on Cluster Competitiveness Reinforcement Initiatives“.
The training managed by the Foundation falls within a technical assistance program, set-up by the World Bank and financed by the EU, which supports Belarus Government’s efforts to foster entrepreneurship and improve the business environment. The Ministry of Economy (MoE) of Belarus – the local counterpart for this project – showed interest in the development of private sector activities in several economic sectors, including:
· Medicine, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology
· Instrument-Making and Robot Technology
· Agrarian and Green Economy
· Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
The Foundation’s Belarusian custom-tailored program combines theory and practice, allowing the participants to apply their learnings using real-life situations. It consists of 10 learning modules organized in 6 weeklong in-class joint training sessions where the Foundation’s professors use the case study method.
Now that Week 1 and Week 2 were successfully delivered, expectations are high for the weeks to come to bring further insights and broader skill-sets to the participants.
