KABADA – Knowledge Alliance of Business idea Assessment: Digital Approach 

To promote self-employment in advanced manufacturing the Skillman network is helping to develop KABADA, an artificial intelligence tool that allows the self-assessment of business plans of technology start-ups.

Over the next two years Skillman members will be involved in testing and debugging the tool, supporting its dissemination to a large number of beneficiary organisations and finally benefiting from this innovative solution for their students and entrepreneurs.

The initiative, coordinated by BA School of Business and Finance of Latvia, aims at:

• Developing a new, innovative and multidisciplinary approach to teaching business/entrepreneurship, as the developed system will become a part of study courses.
• Facilitating the exchange, flow, and co-creation of knowledge, as the system will be appropriate to be used in multiple educational sectors and will give an opportunity to use specific knowledge (e.g. engineering, physics, medicine) in new business ideas.

The development of KABADA tool is co funded by the European Commission in the framework of the Erasmus+ KA2 projects for 3 years duration 2019 – 22.

The partnership is composed also by the University of Applied Sciences – VIKO  (Lithuania), Mendel University in Brno (Czech Republic), Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal (Portugal), ArtSmart (Latvia), Youth Entrepreneurship Promotion Association (Lithuania), Centro Studi Cultura Sviluppo (Italy)
