Mentor Network and Knowledge Hub boosting business actors’ and support organisations’ skills & knowledge to nurture pioneering business concepts in the emerging sectors of forest-based green economy

Border regions between Croatia, Hungary and Slovenia host rich forests and rivers but struggle with low incomes, weak connectivity and little awareness of new green markets such as carbon farming or biodiversity credits. Pannon Future Forest works to turn this nature into shared prosperity. Partners create a cross-border knowledge hub and mentor network that train local actors and business support organisations, coach pilot projects in sustainable forestry and land management and share tools so other inner-periphery areas can follow.
