International experience for entrepreneurs: The project Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs, an initiative of the European Commission, aims to support young entrepreneurs by connecting them with experienced companies in order to facilitate the exchange of experiences and business contacts.
What exactly is it about?
The European Union program:
- offers new entrepreneurs the opportunity to learn new things from an experienced small or medium-sized enterprise from another EU country;
- supports the exchange of experiences between new and experienced entrepreneurs;
- simplifies access to new markets and the search for potential business partners;
- strengthens the networks of entrepreneurs and small/medium-sized enterprises;
- enables experienced entrepreneurs to develop new business relationships and get to know the market opportunities of another European country.
The program is aimed at:
- “Young entrepreneurs”: Aspiring entrepreneurs who are planning their own business or who have already founded a business in the last three years.
- “Host entrepreneurs”: Experienced entrepreneurs who wish to develop their skills in the field of internationalization have the opportunity to learn about the market opportunities of another European country through contact with a young foreign entrepreneur.
And this is how it works
The young entrepreneurs travel to another EU country and work with an experienced entrepreneur in their company. The Italian Chamber of Commerce for Germany (ITKAM) connects suitable young and host entrepreneurs.
