Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs

The exchange of experience takes place during a stay with the host entrepreneur, which helps the new entrepreneur acquire the skills he/she needs 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.

Programme goals
Europe needs to boost its entrepreneurial culture and stimulate an environment in which small firms can be created, thrive and expand. European companies should be encouraged to make full use of the opportunities offered by the european market. Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs can make a difference by:

• increasing the number of start-ups and boosting their resilience
• fostering cross-border transfers of knowledge and cooperation between small firms
• helping small firms innovate and go international
• creating jobs.
