Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs
- Decided to create your own company or just set one up but wondering whether it will work?
- Are you an experienced entrepreneur who wants to share your knowledge and experience with a new entrepreneur and serve as a mentor?
The Erasmus programme for Young Entrepreneurs can help you!
Objectives
Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs helps new entrepreneurs (both those planning to set up their own company and those who have recently created a company) to deal with the reality on the ground and expand their network. The idea behind this European Community programme is to share the life of a European business leader and their enthusiasm and constraints, to get to know a new country and market and to try out one’s own entrepreneurial skills. The stay can last between 1 and 6 months and is partially funded by the European Commission.
As an experienced entrepreneur, you can also host foreign young entrepreneurs, giving you the opportunity to find out about foreign markets, develop international contacts and expand your activities in another country.
Who can participate?
-
New entrepreneurs seriously considering setting up their own business or who have set up their business within the past three years.
- Experienced owners or directors of an SME established in a different participating country.
