EYE: Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs

Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs #EYE, funded by the European Commission, is a cross-border exchange programme that aims to promote international exchanges (through the collaboration with local contact points) between new entrepreneurs (NE) and host entrepreneurs (HE), offering opportunities to acquire the skills needed to run a new business on the one hand, and to reconsider business in a new perspective on the other hand. In fact the programme is open to:

• New Entrepreneurs (NE), young people willing to set up their own innovative business or who have started their own business in the last three years.

• spread innovation among European green entrepreneurs;
