An Educational hub has been established at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH) Knowledge and Technology Transfer Centre (Sauletekio av. 11, room 801, Vilnius, Lithuania), as part of the European Union co-funded "PatENT" Project. This hub is dedicated to providing migrants with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to start their own businesses and protect their innovative ideas through patenting.

A Comprehensive Support System for Migrant Entrepreneurs

The PatENT Project Educational hub at VILNIUS TECH is designed to serve as a structured learning environment for migrants interested in entrepreneurship and innovation. The hub offers targeted workshops, mentoring, and access to resources on business development and intellectual property protection. Additionally, the hub addresses the specific needs of migrant entrepreneurs by offering information and guidance on securing funding, navigating the patenting process, and understanding legal regulations.

The primary objective is to create an inclusive space where participants can engage in hands-on learning, gain practical business skills, and access professional support. The hub also showcases positive examples of successful migrant entrepreneurs through case studies, providing inspiration and practical insights into how entrepreneurship can overcome social and economic barriers.
