Why this project matters

Accelerating entrepreneurial mobility in Europe

Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs is a cross-border exchange program funded by the European Commission. It enables aspiring entrepreneurs to learn from experienced business owners in another EU country. Selego acts as a coordination partner, managing the sourcing, matching, and placement of entrepreneurs across the program.

New Entrepreneurs (NE)

Aspiring or early-stage entrepreneurs who spend 1 to 6 months working alongside an experienced entrepreneur in another European country. They gain hands-on business experience, mentorship, and an international network.

Host Entrepreneurs (HE)

Experienced SME owners who welcome a new entrepreneur into their business. They benefit from fresh perspectives, new skills, and access to markets in the entrepreneur's home country.
