Our primary objectives are to bridge the digital divide by mastering AI and digital tools for market research and lead generation. We aim to transition students from classroom simulations to real-world entrepreneurship within Barcelona’s startup ecosystem. By improving professional English and intercultural confidence, we seek to foster global competencies while promoting social inclusion, empowering rural and disadvantaged students to become future innovators in the Croatian tourism sector.
