What is unique in UPBEAT project?

UPBEAT represents a pioneering attempt at utilizing AI technology to address pressing social issues in immigrant integration. We offer AI assisted entrepreneurship trainings for young newcomers who are interested to start a business or work as a light entrepreneur in their new home country – in Finland or in Estonia. What sets our project apart is its novel use of AI technology in enhancing upskilling processes. By transforming existing business development guides into easily accessible AI-driven formats and providing AI-assisted support, UPBEAT introduces a fresh tech-centric approach towards immigrant upskilling in entrepreneurship.

Through cross-border collaboration our project aims not only to harness collective expertise from Finland and Estonia but also to foster opportunities for cross-border entrepreneurship and business development. Through this unique cross-border approach powered by AI technology, UPBEAT aims not merely at integrating immigrants into existing systems but also empowers them with skills necessary for thriving as entrepreneurs in their new home country.
