EU Project
\nDuration: Sept 2026 August 2028
\nThis EU project aims to strengthen entrepreneurial capacity, internationalisation,
\nand cross-border cooperation among SMEs across Estonia, Albania, Italy,
\nRomania, Moldova, and Spain. It addresses key challenges such as uneven
\nparticipation in international mobility programmes, limited visibility of emerging
\necosystems, and a lack of practical experience among new entrepreneurs.
\nThe core objective is to facilitate structured exchanges between New
\nEntrepreneurs (NEs) and Host Entrepreneurs (HEs), enabling hands-on learning,
\nknowledge transfer, and real-world business experience. Through these
\nexchanges, participants develop entrepreneurial skills, improve business models,
\nand gain access to international networks, contributing to innovation,
\ndigitalisation, and sustainability in the European economy.
\nThe project follows a pipeline-based methodology, targeting approximately 389
\napplications and achieving at least 175 successful matches. It introduces an
\ninnovative \u201c3-step integration\u201d approach, including digital readiness assessment,
\npre-departure mentoring, and the creation of a transnational alumni network to
\nensure long-term impact and cooperation.
\nImplementation is carried out by a consortium of six experienced intermediary
\norganisations, coordinated by Visionest Institute. The work is structured into four
\nkey phases: programme management, promotion and recruitment, matchmaking,
\nand exchange implementation with continuous monitoring and support.
\nIn the short term, participants gain practical business experience and skills. In the
\nmedium term, they access new markets and partnerships. In the long term, the
\nproject strengthens entrepreneurial ecosystems, fosters sustainable collaborations,
\nand contributes to economic growth and job creation.
\nThe project delivers strong European added value by connecting diverse business
\necosystems, promoting inclusive participation, and building a more resilient,
\ninnovative, and interconnected SME landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
