On March 18, around 200 intermediary organizations<\/strong> from all over Europe, and beyond, gathered in Brussels for the 23rd Network Meeting of the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs Program. On this occasion, the Programme, which this year celebrates its 10th birthday<\/strong>, has awarded 2 new entrepreneurs,<\/strong> Nelly Davtyan from Armenia and Ioannis Polychronakis from Greece, who thanks to their participation in the program were able to lay the foundations for their business and become successful entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its launch in 2009, the\u00a0Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs<\/a>\u00a0(EYE) programme has helped to facilitate more than\u00a07,000 collaborations<\/strong>\u00a0between new and experiences entrepreneurs across the EU, enabling over\u00a014,000 entrepreneurs<\/strong>\u00a0to benefit from this EU-funded programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Brussels, the StartUp2 project<\/strong> partners, which started on February 1, 2018, took part in the celebrations for the tenth anniversary of the program and summed up the results of this first year of work. The partnership made up of partners from Italy, Finland, Serbia, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal and Latvia confirmed for the second consecutive semester as the best partnership <\/strong>of the Programme in terms of performance and exchanges executed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Director for the COSME Programme at the\u00a0European\u00a0Commission<\/a>\u00a0in the Directorate General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and\u00a0#S<\/a>MEs<\/a>, Kristin Schreiber, said: \u201cErasmus for Young Entrepreneurs is highly appreciated by entrepreneurs because it helps them boost their business in a tangible way. It helps to create new companies and jobs, and supports entrepreneurs on their path to growth. For example, between 2014\u20132016, over 250 new companies and more than 2,000 jobs were created thanks to the EYE experience. I want to see this programme grow in importance, with more and more successful entrepreneurs, more start-ups and more SMEs growing and scale-up within\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
