Potential for learning or transfer
With this practice, project's partners will support entrepreneurs in initial stages. It is a good way to strength local competitiveness and create self-employment and wealth in the region. Entrepreneurs are the true engines of the regional economy and those who have to create jobs, and for this they should always have support and commitment to continue promoting the creation of new companies and strengthen the regional ecosystem.
These initiatives are important to help entrepreneurs carry out their ideas successfully, finding the resources they need, from training to make a feasibility plan to search for financing, selecting the best location, the access to market or the most appropriate ways of marketing and communication. Beneficiaries will be entrepreneurs with innovative business projects at an early stage of development and entrepreneurs who have created the company recently (<6 months)
