General Description
The global green transition is reshaping the economic landscape. European regions and companies must become simultaneously competitive, sustainable, and ethical. In this new context, economists, negotiators, and entrepreneurs are the architects of transformation — capable of understanding the interconnections between regional economy, international trade, global governance, and environmental change.
The BIP “Green Dealmakers” trains students to become leaders of the green transition, combining economic reasoning, behavioral analysis, international negotiation, and sustainable innovation. Through collaboration between universities in the EUGreen alliance, participants will learn how to negotiate, design, and implement sustainable economic partnerships at local, regional, and global levels — in the spirit of the European Green Deal.
Aim
To develop students’ competences to analyze, negotiate, and manage sustainable economic transactions in a globalized economy, using tools from European economics, international business, green economy, and behavioral economics.

- Explain the interaction between the green transition, economic competitiveness, and regional policies.
