The Start-DSP Course is officially open, free, and accessible to everyone! Developed within the Erasmus+ Start-DSP project, this higher-education course is designed to equip learners with the skills needed to create ventures that are not only financially viable but socially and environmentally valuable.
The course brings together three European competence frameworks (EntreComp, DigComp, and GreenComp) into a single, coherent curriculum. It responds to a clear gap in higher education: while many programmes support business creation, very few equip learners with the ability to integrate sustainability, digital innovation, and societal impact into their thinking from the very beginning. Start-DSP changes that.
Structured across ten comprehensive modules, the course takes you on a journey from entrepreneurial mindset and idea development through to green digital business models, social impact and inclusion, purposeful communication, financial planning, and agile governance. Each module builds on the previous one, helping you develop a clear and well-rounded business concept over time.
By the end, you'll be able to assess business opportunities in relation to environmental, social, and digital contexts, design and communicate business concepts supported by appropriate digital tools, and balance financial viability with broader considerations of impact, responsibility, and ethical practice.
No prior business experience is required. The course is suitable for learners from a wide range of disciplines, including business, tourism, sustainability, and digital fields, as well as those from non-business backgrounds exploring entrepreneurship for the first time. All ten modules are available right now.
