Be BUSY – project presentation at the X Youth Economic Forum

On November 8, within the framework of the X Youth Economic Forum the cross-border business project KA4022 BUSY - Business for Youngsters was announced to be launched and presented.

The main goal of the project is to create international teams of young entrepreneurs who will have an opportunity to share experience, and in the future will also be able to qualify for investment support and implement their ideas not only in Russia, but also develop cross-border projects in cooperation with their Finnish partners.

BUSY is planned for long-term cooperation between the two countries: Russia and Finland, and will continue until 2021.

Till that time among many other things the idea is to:

• Create a modern and fully equipped co-working space for young entrepreneurs;
• Organize educational events for youth start-ups and SMEs and provide mentoring services from experts;
• Help participating project start-ups and individual young entrepreneurs to grow and develop their businesses consciously.

The project was presented at the round-table discussion “International Business: trends of 2018-2019” and the main goal of the meeting was not only present BUSY project but also gather together other CBC project managers who could tell about their activities and share ideas and together find the ways for further cooperation.
