“Real business opportunities in the Green Economy sectors” is a report by the Lanzarote Tourism Federation (FTL) that has been presented at the CIFP Zonzamas. This initiative is part of the FTL's Green Entrepreneurship Tourism project, whose objective is to facilitate the transition of companies towards a Green Economy.
The Federation has identified 54 entrepreneurship opportunities in the field of the Green Economy of Lanzarote and La Graciosa. These identified opportunities focus on sectors such as renewable energies, commerce, local products, resource valorization and new technologies applied to the green economy.
Each of the real business opportunities consists of a business sheet that allows a first approximation of key elements for start-up, such as the commercial plan, potential clients, the necessary capital, the scalable value, among others. The study is being presented to the educational community and will soon be published on the Federation's website.
The event was attended by the president of the FTL, Susana Pérez, the director of the Canarian Employment Service, Dunnia Rodriguez, the director of the Zonzamas Integrated Vocational Training Center, Isaac Molina, and Jacobo Fernández on behalf of Deloitte, a collaborating entity of the study.
