UPBEAT
The UPBEAT project addresses the shared challenge of immigrant integration in the Central Baltic region. Immigrants and refugees, due to skill mismatches or other barriers, often grapple with limited employment opportunities leading to high unemployment rates and subsequent increase of social welfare costs, talent emigration and rising social tensions.The primary objective of this project is to reverse this trend by fostering a more inclusive society through targeted upskilling in entrepreneurship and business planning using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.

Through this project, participants will be offered AI-assistance in various entrepreneurship and business planning tasks, such as market analysis, business model and value proposition design, or risk management. Projects main outputs are: 1. creation of AI-driven digital tools for upskilling in entrepreneurship and business planning, 2. creation and delivery of an AI-driven upskilling (training) program in entrepreneuship and business planning.
