The Virtual Pre-Incubator Accelerator (ViPiA) is a two-year project funded by the European Commission. The main goal of the programme is to create a training package for would-be entrepreneurs to assist them in developing their new venture concepts to a level at which they become attractive to potential investors. This paper describes and discusses the ViPiA project and the approach adopted in the development of its virtual learning network. The network, accessed via the ViPiA portal, offers support to entrepreneurs by providing valuable services to help them transform their ideas into successful start-ups.
