Antonio Fuso, a young entrepreneur focused on renewable energy, teamed up with Joakim Byström, CEO of Absolicon, a leading manufacturer of solar thermal collectors, for an exciting project. They connected through professional networks and European institutions, recognising a unique opportunity to collaborate. This experience allowed them to explore new markets, develop connections, and understand diverse working and legislative environments. It provided an invaluable chance to compare business dynamics across countries, comprehend client preferences, and navigate various legal and tax systems. Immersion in a foreign context enriched their opportunities and facilitated direct learning.
Throughout the collaboration, Joakim introduced Antonio to the company's dynamics and assigned him roles in sales and marketing. Together, they explored marketing tools, business processes, and the solar industry. Antonio conducted research on solar energy, focusing on energy communities and analysing trends and competition. With Joakim's guidance, he created a three-year financial plan, managed the company's social profiles, and developed marketing strategies. Joakim also shared his expertise in human resources and brand management. By the end of the project, Antonio presented a detailed report on the objectives achieved and the impact on social media.
The entrepreneurs established a solid foundation for future collaboration, aiming to maintain professional relationships and share feedback to improve and realise their business goals. Antonio had the opportunity to deepen his managerial skills by closely observing the dynamic and innovative operational dynamics of Absolicon.
