Are contacts and exchange of knowledge and experience important to your business? Do contacts translate into a more dynamic development of your company? If so, Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs is for you! You can participate in the European cross-border exchange programme with the help of PSTP. The initiative helps experienced companies to look for new business partners and gives aspiring entrepreneurs a chance to establish new business contacts.

About the programme. Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs has been designed for three groups of participants:

• Experienced entrepreneurs, willing to cooperate with foreign partners and use the expertise of young entrepreneurs from the EU member states;
• New entrepreneurs who have started their own business within the last 3 years;
• Aspiring entrepreneurs who would like to start a business, based on a viable business plan.

New and aspiring entrepreneurs have a chance to go for an exchange in a selected country of the European Union. Experienced entrepreneurs, on the other hand, can benefit from fresh ideas of new entrepreneurs and their business contacts. They will host young entrepreneurs for the period of 1 to 6 months. The new entrepreneurs’ subsistence costs are covered by the European Commission. The financial support amounts to EUR 530-1100, depending on the country in which a host entrepreneur is based.

Future participants should have relevant education, experience and a concrete business idea reflected in a business plan. Those who wish to participate in the programme as new entrepreneurs should also have a good command of foreign languages and, above all, be ready to present their idea for a business. Being able to present a cooperation plan between NE (New Entrepreneur) and HE (Host Entrepreneur) is also most welcome.

You can participate in the programme by filling in the application form online:   www.erasmus-entrepreneurs.eu. When applying, please remember to choose Adam Mickiewicz University Foundation (a unit managing Poznan Science and Technology Park) as an IO – Intermediary Organisation. New and experienced entrepreneurs who will successfully go through the recruitment process will sign an agreement in which terms and conditions of the exchange will be stipulated.

How can you benefit from the programme?

• Young companies can also find a valuable contractor with whom they can cooperate later on;
• The exchange is co-funded by the European Commission; the interested parties are exempted from the majority of costs.

Freedom to Operate is an ability to sell or commercialise a product or service in a specific area and timeframe without infringement of IP rights held by another entity. Before any crucial business decision, especially before entering a foreign market with new product or technology, a Freedom to Operate Analysis is essential. Thanks to FTO Analysis it can be determined if similar products or technologies are already present in a certain area and if there is any risk in infringement.

Poznań Science and Technology Park (PSTP) provides an analysis of competing patented ideas and develops a professional Freedom to Operate analysis in order to determine whether a given solution does not violate the rights of other entities. Patent applications and patents as well as scientific articles and the offers of competing companies are analysed.

Freedom to Operate analysis is also necessary when applying for grants under SME Instrument phase I and II.

If necessary, PSTP experts provide contact with the patent attorney.

Why should you use our services?

• Freedom to Operate analysis helps to determine if your solution does not violate the rights of other entities before they are introduced to the new market, which reduces costs and the risk of possible claims and damages;
• Team of PSTP experts prepare a reliable analysis and conclusions based on the information from the professional PatSnap patent database and other free-of-charge patent databases (Google Patents, Espacenet, Patenscope and others)
• PSTP has great experience in preparation of FTO analysis for different kind of entities such as: SMEs, private and public R&D institutions and universities.

EYE4Ukraine is a part of the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) programme and a series of European initiatives that support Ukrainian companies in their recovery from the Russian invasion.

The aim of EYE4Ukraine is to establish business  exchanges between Ukrainian entrepreneurs and experienced entrepreneurs doing business in other European countries, thereby strengthening ties between EU and Ukrainian companies.

Main objective is to support the integration of Ukrainian entrepreneurs by promoting direct cooperation with European (EU) entrepreneurs, enabling them to benefit from the programme in the 37 participating European countries.

The project is aimed at Ukrainian citizens residing in EU countries who are aspiring to start their businesses or new entrepreneurs (with less than 3 years of experience in business).  It is aimed at Ukrainian entrepreneurs wishing to improve their knowledge of entrepreneurship and the EU internal market.

What does the programme entail?

The programme involves stays with experienced entrepreneurs for 1 to 6 months, also known called in the project as Hosts, during which Ukrainian entrepreneurs can acquire the skills necessary to run a small or medium-sized business. In turn, Hosts gain new insights into their business and the opportunity to work with Ukrainian partners or explore a new market.

Part of the costs of the stay abroad for the New Entrepreneur is covered by the European Commission. New Entrepreneurs cover the remaining costs with their own finances.

The cooperation within EYE4Ukraine project is an exchange, not an internship. The programme offers an opportunity to develop international partnerships that are useful for the development of both parties’ businesses. Partners work together for a period of 1 to 6 months to implement new ideas, develop businesses, and enhance the knowledge and skills of budding entrepreneurs. This opportunity provides exchange visitors with a unique chance to learn, make international contacts, and benefit from the experience of a more senior entrepreneur. The host, in turn, can work with an ambitious, motivated foreign visitor full of fresh ideas who may prove to be a valuable business partner in another part of the world.

EYE4Ukraine offers:

• a chance to gain the knowledge and experience necessary to improve your business plan,
• a way to establish new business relations and more,
• an opportunity to test your business idea on the European market,
• a possibility to find a unique partner in the market where you plan to develop your project or sell your products and services.
• An opportunity for your venture being subsidized by the European Commission.
