Description:

The main goal of BE the Future is to increase the awareness of self-employment as a possible career direction for young women from Sweden, Estonia and Latvia, creating a positive attitude towards entrepreneurship and encouraging them to test their ideas in real life. Starting a business can be an effective way for young people to enter the labor market. Although young people often have the necessary ambition to start a business, this will not always translate into a successful business start-up. The three-year project envisages the promotion of entrepreneurial thinking by creating peer-to-peer cooperation networks in which to share experience and resources. Including giving the teams the opportunity to meet inspiring mentors and listen to their instructions and advice for successful business development. The goal of the project is to prepare, train and support 225 young aspiring entrepreneurs from three countries by creating and developing student companies. By the end of the project, at least 50 student companies will be created, which will be able to implement business in practice.
