She Founder - Entrepreneurship is a Woman 4

ongoing

The main aim of SHE FOUNDER_EIW4 is to enhance entrepreneurship, develop the international outlook and competitiveness of European SMEs and foster potential start-up entrepreneurs and newly-established micro and small enterprises in the Participating Countries. We focus on target groups entrepreneurs who propose sustainable/green and digital business models. Within SHE FOUNDER we also aim to foster matching of entrepreneurs from “underrepresented” countries, as in our consortium there are 4 “underrepresented” partners: 2 Ukrainian partners, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Being a continuation of EIW, EIW2 and EIW3 projects developed in cycles 8, 10 and 12 respectively, this project, together with 8 partners will reach at least 436 RLTs involving directly 218 NEs and 218 HEs during its implementation (4 years) in Lithuania, Kosovo, Portugal, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ukraine, Spain and Italy. These high scores can be attributed to the fact that all consortium partners have experience in the previous EYE cycles. The average duration of the mobility action will be 4-5 months. The consortium aims to: 1) provide on-the-job-training for new entrepreneurs with established host entrepreneurs in small and medium-sized enterprises abroad in the SMP participating countries in order to facilitate a successful start-up, and development of their business ideas; 2) to foster sharing of experience and information between entrepreneurs on the obstacles and challenges of starting up and developing their businesses. 3) to enhance market access and identification of potential partners for new and established entrepreneurs in other EU and SMP participating countries; 4) to support networking between entrepreneurs from different SMP participating countries by building on knowledge and experience. 5) to foster matching of entrepreneurs from “underrepresented” countries. 6) to contribute to the EU’s strategies in relation to sustainable transition, digital transition and stronger resilience.
