The European Commission (EC) is seeking a call for proposals to support Ukrainian entrepreneurs- Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs.
Scope
- The objective of this action is to select intermediary organisations based on their project proposals for supporting Ukrainian new entrepreneurs.
- The projects cover activities such as:
- giving training on doing business in the Single Market first information on further business support initiatives
- developing other relevant skills and boost their entrepreneurship capacities, and supporting them with contacts and building networks
- matching them with experienced European entrepreneurs and support them for participation in Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs business exchanges.
- The selected projects will help both Ukrainian entrepreneurs who are based in their home country and displaced Ukrainian entrepreneurs who are based in the participating countries.
