Target Circular Project Overview
Target Circular is an Interreg Europe Northern Peripherals and Arctic (NPA) funded project. The aim of the project is to enhance the success rates of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that work in the sustainable space. The project will be implemented by an excellent team of six partners from Ireland, Finland, Norway, and Iceland.
In January 2024, the Ludgate Hub will pilot a new evidence-based training programme on strategic thinking and planning. The Strategic Entrepreneur Programme is based on the latest scientific research on entrepreneurial decision making and business success. The programme is open to all currently trading businesses but priority will be given to businesses working in the sustainable space.
The Ludgate Hub is collaborating with our partners at Munster Technological University and our two Finnish partners at Centria University and Kosek to make the Strategic Entrepreneur Programme a success in the new year.
Watch this space, as later in 2024 the Ludgate Hub will have more opportunities for entrepreneurs and business service advisors to participate in our Learning Management System (LMS) and shared service pilots.

Is your business at a crossroads or at a very early stage?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, the Strategic Entrepreneur Programme may be for you. This first running of the program is free to participants and fosters strategic thinking, assumption validation and decision-making skills using novel effective evidence-based tools recently proven to increase entrepreneurial success.
