Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs

Are you a young entrepreneur and would like to gain experience in a foreign company? Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs is a European Commission programme for the exchange of experiences between new and experienced entrepreneurs from EU countries, improving access to new markets and searching for potential business partners.

Beginners (max. 3 years of business activity) can complete several months' internship in another EU country with an experienced entrepreneur and gain skills necessary to implement their own business project or to better manage and develop their own business.

(Future) activity can be carried out within any sector and age does not matter at all.

Entrepreneurs interested in participating in the project should apply to one of the contact points in their country of residence and submit an application to the Erasmus system for Young Entrepreneurs (a new entrepreneur should fill in online applications, submit a current CV and business plan, an experienced entrepreneur should only submit an electronic application and a current CV). Once such an application is accepted, entrepreneurs gain access to an online database of registered entrepreneurs from all over Europe and can search for potential partners for the exchange. The call for proposals for the programme is ongoing.

list of local contact points participating in the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs programme

A new entrepreneur's stay with an experienced partner may last from 1 to 6 months. A new entrepreneur receives financial support for a stay to cover the basic costs of a stay abroad on the basis of a contract concluded with a contact point.
