It furthermore aims to enhance entrepreneurship, internationalisation and competitiveness of new and established micro and small enterprises within the EU and in other participating countries.
WHY TO PARTICIPATE?
The purpose of the EYE program is experience exchange between new and established entrepreneurs. During a period of 1 to 6 months, a young or aspiring [new] entrepreneur will have an opportunity to stay at a host’s work place in participating country and gain a valuable experience and relevant skills in starting or managing a small or medium-sized business. The stay is partly financed by the European Commission.
