KA220 Capacity Building in the Field of Vocational Education and Training Project

Project Summary:
In today's world, where natural resources are limited and water resources are being depleted, the need to ensure harmony between production processes and nature has highlighted the importance of green transformation. Achieving this harmony is of great importance for the protection of nature and the sustainability of businesses.
The increase in the consumption of natural resources in production processes has led to the use of artificial resources and increased damage to the environment. In this regard, businesses have been encouraged to transition to green transformation. Efforts have begun to achieve digital transformation in production processes with the aim of further increasing the operational efficiency of companies with the competitive advantage they have gained.
The concept of Twin Transformation, which aims to achieve green transformation and digital transformation together, has emerged during this process.
During this process, the concept of Twin Transition emerged, aiming to achieve green transition and digital transformation simultaneously. The goal is for businesses to calculate their energy efficiency based on clean energy systems, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and use resources sparingly and efficiently through digital technologies.
Subsequently, incentives proved insufficient, and laws and agreements mandating the implementation of sanctions at the state level were enacted to compel businesses to participate in these processes.
Subsequently, incentives proved insufficient, and laws and agreements were enacted at the state level to enforce sanctions, making it mandatory for businesses to participate in these processes. Companies that failed to integrate into these processes and bring their operations up to Twin Transformation standards were unable to export.
