ENTREPUBL was a European project co-funded by Erasmus+ that aimed to strengthen entrepreneurial thinking and digital competences within the public sector. It focused on enabling public servants to rethink their role in their organisation, approaching problems as opportunities and becoming proactive contributors to institutional innovation and service improvement.

The project developed a comprehensive, multilingual training path to support public employees in building their sense of initiative, creativity, and digital confidence. At its core, ENTREPUBL promoted the idea that entrepreneurship is not limited to business creation, but is a mindset and a method for creating public value.

In parallel, the project empowered VET trainers and institutions by equipping them with a structured educational package, certification tools, and practical resources tailored to the upskilling needs of civil servants. This dual focus on public employees and those who train them, ensured a sustainable and transferable model for training provision across Europe.

To support long-term change, ENTREPUBL also produced a Policy Recommendation Paper. These strategic documents offer actionable guidance to education providers, training institutions, and public authorities on how to embed entrepreneurial and digital competences into public sector training systems. They are the result of national consultations and field experiences gathered during the project and provide a roadmap for institutional innovation.

The digital training offer, supported by the EntreComp and DigComp frameworks, continues to be available openly and flexibly, promoting modern, effective learning in public administration well beyond the life of the project.
