The European exchange programme for entrepreneurs
Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs is a cross-border exchange programme which gives new or aspiring entrepreneurs the chance to learn from experienced entrepreneurs running small businesses in other Participating Countries.
The exchange of experience takes place during a stay with the experienced entrepreneur, which helps the new entrepreneur acquire the skills needed to run a small firm.
The host benefits from fresh perspectives on his/her business and gets the opportunities to cooperate with foreign partners or learn about new markets. The stay is partially funded by the European Union.
Whether you are a new or highly experienced entrepreneur, the programme can offer strong added value to your business: possible benefits include exchange of knowledge and experience, networking opportunities across Europe, new commercial relations or markets abroad.
“It has been a very interesting and exciting working experience that I consider of invaluable value for my personal and professional development.” Roberta Marsibilio, Development Manager, Business Development Consultancy Italy
New entrepreneurs, firmly planning to set up their own business or have already started one within the last three years; Experienced entrepreneurs who own or manage a Small or Medium-Sized Enterprise in one of the Participating Countries.
