GET UP is a European project that aims to intervene at an economic level, fighting youth unemployment and promoting self-employment.

The GET UP project responds to the 2015 Action Plan for Entrepreneurship, it´s structured to ensure support to businesses and entrepreneurs throughout Europe helping to develop one’s business, increase exports, create employment and rebuild the economy. GET UP materializes this through a learning tool for youth to promote entrepreneurship by using new information and communication technologies (ICT), and empowering participants with the knowledge and mechanisms to design their proper business models.

The main objective of the Project is to provide a GET UP Learning Platform to empower potential end-users, youth, under 25s and unemployed persons with secondary school or higher education diploma and young secondary or graduate people seeking their first job, with new knowledge and competencies by participating in the GET UP B-Learning course, available in the GET UP learning Platform. The platform provides new knowledge and competencies about entrepreneurship, Geomarketing and location intelligence concepts to help the target audience achieve their objectives and implement their business ideas, becoming entrepreneurs. They will have the ability to understand complex phenomena through the use of Geomarketing techniques by creating geographic relationships inherent in relevant spatial data and by learning how to use this concept as a management tool to attract investment and business.
