KABADA – Knowledge Alliance of Business idea Assessment: Digital Approach – is an Erasmus+ KA2 project aimed at developing a tool based on an artificial intelligence (AI) for the assessment of business ideas and plans applicable to a wide range of young entrepreneurs for the promotion of self-employment and business activities.

KABADA objectives are:
- Development of entrepreneurial mind-set and skills in students and their teachers. A digital tool for assessment of business ideas will be developed as a prototype of artificial intelligence (AI) and will be made with the approach that it can be introduced into entrepreneurial education in any discipline to provide students, researchers, staff and educators with the knowledge, skills and motivation to engage in entrepreneurial activities.


KABADA aims are:
- Develop new, innovative and multidisciplinary approach to teaching business/entrepreneurship, as the developed system will become a part of study courses
- Facilitate 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.
