Mentor Academy within the RISE project – support for the sustainable development of SMEs in the food sector

 On 8–9 May 2025 in Sibenik, Croatia was held Mentor Academy within RISE project, aimed at forstering the sustainable development of small and medium enterprises in the food sector.

The main goal of the event was to present tools for assessing digital readiness, energy efficiency, and the extent to which circular economy principles are applied in SMEs.

During the academy were also explored the opportunities offered by the B2GreenHub platform for future collaboration with enterprises.

RAPIV's team actively participated in the event by presenting a tool developed to assess the integration of circular economy elements into companies' business models. Specific recommendations for implementing circular approaches were shared, along with opportunities to join supply chains that support the transition to a circular economy.

Participants exchanged best practices and approaches for effective mentoring and received valuable, hands-on guidance for working with small and medium-sized enterprises.

 

The academy also included visits to a local mussel cleaning factory and an oyster farm — both examples of sustainable and innovative practices in the sector.
