The Challenge
Young people across Scandinavia and Ukraine are eager to turn their ideas into real businesses—but many lack accessible guidance, tools, and inspiration to get started. Traditional business education can feel distant, technical, or out of reach. BoostUp bridges this gap by offering a modern, creative, and youth-friendly digital platform that helps users develop entrepreneurial skills, validate ideas, and understand how to build solutions that positively impact society and the environment.
Our Approach
BoostUp is a collaborative initiative by Danish Entrepreneurs, Internetstiftelsen, and The Danish-Ukrainian Youth House, supported by The Nordic Council of Ministers. The platform combines:
Motivational Success Stories – Real examples of young entrepreneurs creating meaningful impact.
Expert Training Videos – Step-by-step learning on ideation, sustainability, validation, and pitching.
Practical Resources & Tools – Guides, templates, and materials to help users turn ideas into actionable plans.
Youth-Centered Digital Environment – A modern, intuitive platform tailored to the learning style and ambitions of young creators.
As part of the content creation, Aalborg Institute for Development (AID) produced four educational videos focused on the early stages of the entrepreneurial journey:
How to find your business idea
Is your idea good for the Earth?
Validate your business idea
Convince others about your business idea
Key Results / Achievments
Aalborg Institute for Development’s Role
AID contributed as a content creator, producing four core instructional videos that guide young entrepreneurs through ideation, sustainability assessment, validation, and pitching. These videos form a key part of the platform’s practical learning journey and help users take their first steps with clarity and confidence.
Looking Ahead
BoostUp is paving the way for a new generation of socially responsible entrepreneurs across Scandinavia and Ukraine. By providing accessible training, inspiring stories, and practical tools, the platform empowers young people to turn ideas into real, sustainable solutions.
👉 This project shows how digital education can ignite innovation, strengthen youth communities, and drive positive societal and environmental impact.
