Creating a company in Europe
Europe has not yet shown its full potential in business and we need to encourage more people to do business. 51% of young Europeans would be interested in giving life to his work, but often loses his ambition when he is faced with the difficulties of putting into practice their ideas.
Most of those who engage in an activity, tends to act only in the domestic market, rather than to seize business opportunities in other countries of Europe and elsewhere. Only 8% of SMEs looks beyond the borders of their country.
" Development Liguria Italy, as a company that always takes care of creation and enterprise development in Liguria, wanted to take part in this program. We believe that our region can be a leader in this international project, being a geographical and historical vocation "gateway" to the outside world. Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs, in this time of economic crisis which threatens to quit in the protectionist, represents an innovative response to the dual challenge of new venture creation and development of cooperation in Europe. The new entrepreneurs learn skills and perspectives, they could not apprendere da soli nella fase di start up, e nello stesso tempo allacciano rapporti internazionali che aumentano le loro possibilità di successo ” dice Cristina Battaglia, Presidente di Sviluppo Italia Liguria.
