PRACTYCE VI

ongoing

The main objective of PRACTYCE VI is to continue with the actions undertaken under previous proposals to enhance entrepreneurship, develop the international outlook and competitiveness of EU SMEs and foster potential start-up entrepreneurs and newly established micro and small enterprises. PRACTYCE VI intends to recruit 629 New Entrepreneurs (NEs) and 585 Host Entrepreneurs (HE) to be engaged in 975 international business collaborations together (EYE Relationships - RLTs), assisting them in their exchange, allowing the aspiring NE to develop their skills regarding business management and opening new perspectives to experienced entrepreneurs as well as contributing to the development of a growing SMEs network throughout Europe. The countries covered by PRACTYCEVI are Spain, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia and Serbia with a special focus in two underrepresented countries like Germany and the Czech Republic with 144 RLT (15%) for those countries. In line with the new priorities of the programme, PRACTYCE VI will also recruit and build up business relationships among business and new entrepreneurs from the digital (317 RLTs) and green/sustainable sectors (390 RLTs). It also incorporates objectives in terms of gender equality and promotion of women in business with 480 out of 975 RLTs being female business collaborations (49%). In that regard, the project is in line with several policy decisions and frameworks at EU level such as EU2020, EYE, the Single Market programme, the European Green Deal, the Twin Transition and Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025. A series of communication activities and guidelines have been developed under the proposal (success stories, videos, communication strategies and methodologies) that together with the huge expertise of the PRACTYCE consortium (10 years average of each partner) will boost entrepreneurship and business collaborations in the Single Market.
