Representing GreenHost and ELIA at FoVE 2026

The OECON Group was delighted to participate in the Forum on Vocational Excellence 2026, a leading European event for Vocational Education and Training (VET), bringing together representatives of Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs), education and training providers, businesses, and policymakers from across Europe.

During the Forum, OECON proudly represented two important European CoVE projects:

🔹 GreenHost
🔹 ELIA

Through discussions, thematic workshops, and networking activities, we had the opportunity to exchange experiences and best practices with partners from across Europe on topics such as sustainable development, the green and digital transition, innovation in vocational education and training, and strengthening the link between education and labour market needs.

The study visits were particularly valuable, showcasing innovative approaches to skills development, education-business collaboration, and the integration of sustainability principles into vocational education and training.

This year’s participation is especially meaningful for us, as OECON has been present at all five Forums on Vocational Excellence organized to date, from San Sebastián and Amsterdam to Lyon, Kolding, and Graz, contributing consistently to the European dialogue on the future of vocational education and training.

✅ Strengthening European cooperation
✅ Promoting innovation and sustainability
✅ Developing green and digital skills
✅ Supporting excellence in vocational education and training

At OECON, we remain committed to initiatives that strengthen European skills ecosystems and contribute to a more sustainable, innovative, and resilient future for vocational education and training.
