ParticipantMuy interesante, de espacial manera el comentario sobre Europa destaca de manera elocuente la prominencia del emprendimiento verde en Europa, señalando el compromiso significativo de los gobiernos e instituciones en respaldar prácticas comerciales sostenibles. Menciona acertadamente la diversidad de soluciones innovadoras que tanto nuevas empresas como empresas establecidas están desarrollando, desde tecnologías energéticamente eficientes hasta moda sostenible.
La referencia al Pacto Verde de la Unión Europea agrega relevancia al comentario, aludiendo a objetivos ambiciosos como la neutralidad de carbono y destacando el papel fundamental del emprendimiento verde para alcanzar estas metas. En resumen, proporciona una visión concisa y perspicaz de la dinámica actual del emprendimiento verde en Europa, subrayando el respaldo gubernamental y la creatividad empresarial en la búsqueda de soluciones sostenibles.

ParticipantEntre la juventud cuando se habla de emprendimiento se tiene en cuenta la idea de emprendimiento en el sector de servicios o industria. Como bien sabemos el sector primario es muy importante en la sociedad ya que gracias a este sector podemos contar con alimentos para poder sobrevivir y para que otros sectores puedan seguir en funcionamiento y desarrollo. Por ello es importante fomentar el emprendimiento en este sector en la juventud, por ello es necesario llevar a cabo iniciativas como la llevada por la Cámara de Comercio en León, estos impartieron una formación ecológica gratuita en la que se incidía en el sector primario, no era especialmente para la juventud pero se podrían realizar formaciones dirigidas en especifico para este grupo.
Por aquí os dejo la noticia de esta formación por si queréis echarle un vistazo: https://www.lanuevacronica.com/actualidad/formacion-ecologica-para-emprender-en-el-sector-primario_73902_102.html
