a. Create a detailed proposal for a hemp-related project that aligns with EU funding programs like Horizon Europe or Interreg Europe. Your proposal should clearly define the project's objectives, methodologies, expected outcomes, and budget. Be sure to highlight the environmental and social benefits of your project, ensuring it aligns with the goals of the European Green Deal.
b. Research and compare different funding sources available for hemp projects, such as the European Investment Bank (EIB), venture capital, crowdfunding, and innovation vouchers. Create a recommendation report on which funding source would be most beneficial for a hemp start-up, considering factors like project stage, market potential, and alignment with sustainability goals.
