As part of the PLANBEE project, a specialised Entrepreneurial Skills Training Programme will soon be launched in Jordan to equip aspiring and existing bee entrepreneurs with the practical business skills needed to build resilient, innovative, and profitable enterprises, while pre-registration has started.
Training dates, time and venue: To be announced
Registration: Pre-register here
The training forms part of PLANBEE’s wider mission to strengthen the Bee Economy by supporting entrepreneurship, innovation and sustainable business development across the Mediterranean region. While technical beekeeping skills are essential, long-term success increasingly depends on the ability to manage a business, understand markets, identify opportunities, and create value-added products and services.
Designed for both existing and aspiring bee entrepreneurs, the programme combines practical knowledge with interactive learning to help participants develop the entrepreneurial mindset needed to grow successful businesses. Through a series of hands-on sessions, participants will explore modern business planning tools, strategic decision-making techniques, financial management principles, and innovative approaches to developing competitive enterprises.
The curriculum introduces internationally recognised methodologies such as the Business Model Canvas, enabling participants to analyse, strengthen and diversify their business models. Participants will also gain practical insights into marketing strategies, branding, financial planning, risk management, customer value creation, and identifying new market and investment opportunities within the growing Bee Economy.
Beyond strengthening individual businesses, the training contributes to PLANBEE’s broader objective of promoting rural entrepreneurship, supporting local economic development, encouraging innovation within the beekeeping sector, and creating new opportunities for sustainable income generation.
Gateway to Further Business Support
Participants who complete at least 75% of either the Beginner Beekeeping Training or the Advanced Sustainable Beekeeping Training, together with at least 75% of the Entrepreneurial Skills Training, may become eligible to apply for the PLANBEE Tailored Services Voucher Scheme, expected to be launched during 2026–2027.
Through this competitive scheme, selected bee entrepreneurs will be able to access tailored business support services valued at up to €5,000, designed to help strengthen and expand their enterprises.
It should be noted that:
By combining technical knowledge with entrepreneurial expertise, PLANBEE continues to demonstrate that the future of the Bee Economy extends well beyond honey production—creating new opportunities for innovation, sustainable businesses, rural development, and economic resilience across the Mediterranean region.
