Entrepreneurship represents a fundamental driver for job creation, innovation, structural change and long-run economic growth. Financial literacy, business acumen and attitude towards risks are the three keys that can make an entrepreneur successful.
Nowadays, financial education is provided by books or by frontal lessons and workshops. These methods efficacy has been discussed, as they may not result engaging enough for the target. The project is part of the Consob mission of filling this gap, by launching a new way to teach finance.
FiLE is a web platform that leverages first on existing successful teaching mechanisms, and second on consolidated methods for evaluating financial literacy, to engage the user in the learning activity, through a number of topics about finance at different difficulties, while collecting data for research purposes, and provide him indications on his risk appetite and the possible consequences.
