General information

Short Summary
A Ukrainian business organisation with proven experience in implementing the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs programme is seeking international partners to form a consortium for a new application in the upcoming cycle. The organisation has a strong network of SMEs and aspiring entrepreneurs, enabling a high inflow of potential participants and successful delivery of programme targets.
Full Description
A Ukrainian business organisation is seeking international partners to establish a consortium for submitting a new application to the upcoming cycle of the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) programme. The organisation has previously participated in the programme as an implementing body and has successfully achieved key performance indicators, including the recruitment of eligible candidates, coordination of exchanges, and support for both new and host entrepreneurs.

With an extensive national network of SMEs, start-ups, young founders and business support entities, the organisation ensures continuous access to a high number of potential EYE participants. This strong outreach capacity enables the generation of a stable flow of motivated entrepreneurs interested in cross-border learning and business development opportunities. Over the years, the organisation has supported hundreds of companies and individual entrepreneurs through various international, EU-funded and regional development programmes, building solid expertise in project management, stakeholder engagement and capacity-building activities.

The team has longstanding experience in designing and implementing entrepreneurship-related initiatives, conducting business diagnostics, delivering training and mentoring, organising international visits, and supporting the professional growth of early-stage founders. The organisation is well familiar with the administrative procedures, reporting requirements, communication standards and monitoring mechanisms of the EYE programme. It has proven its ability to maintain high-quality communication with lead partners, consortium members and participants, ensuring timely implementation of tasks and compliance with programme standards.

The organisation is now looking to join forces with reliable partners across Europe who are similarly committed to developing entrepreneurial ecosystems and supporting youth entrepreneurship. Potential partners may include chambers of commerce, business support organisations, innovation hubs, incubators, accelerators, universities, development agencies and NGOs with experience in implementing EU-funded programmes.

The aim of forming a new consortium is to enhance the overall implementation capacity, expand access to diverse entrepreneurial communities, strengthen participant mobility, and contribute to the long-term impact of the EYE programme. The organisation seeks partners who are ready to collaborate in the preparation of a high-quality project proposal, jointly coordinate implementation activities, exchange best practices, ensure a wide geographical reach, and deliver meaningful results for new and host entrepreneurs.

By joining the consortium, partner organisations will benefit from cooperation with a motivated, experienced and well-connected Ukrainian institution that has demonstrated consistent performance in entrepreneurship support programmes. The organisation guarantees a high level of professional engagement, transparent communication, and commitment to delivering impactful results for all participating stakeholders.
Advantages and Innovations
The organisation offers significant advantages for consortium partners seeking to implement the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs programme effectively. Its strongest asset is a well-established national network of SMEs, start-ups and aspiring entrepreneurs, which ensures a consistent flow of potential participants. This broad outreach capacity allows partners to achieve recruitment targets faster and maintain high-quality exchanges throughout the programme cycle.

The organisation has already demonstrated strong performance in previous editions of the EYE programme, successfully meeting key indicators related to candidate engagement, mobility management and administrative compliance. This experience has resulted in refined internal procedures, efficient communication workflows and a deep understanding of programme requirements, all of which reduce operational risks for the consortium.
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
The organisation is seeking experienced and reliable partners to form a strong consortium for the next application to the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs programme. Potential partners should be committed to supporting entrepreneurial development and possess proven experience in implementing EU-funded initiatives, mobility schemes or entrepreneurship support activities.

The desired partners may include business support organisations, chambers of commerce, incubators, accelerators, development agencies, universities, innovation hubs and NGOs that actively work with SMEs, start-ups and young entrepreneurs. Experience with the EYE programme or other mobility-based initiatives (such as Erasmus+, Interreg, Horizon Europe capacity-building projects or bilateral exchange programmes) is considered a strong advantage.

Partner Sought

Expected Role of a Partner
The organisation is seeking committed and experienced partners to join a consortium for submitting a new application under the upcoming cycle of the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs programme. The expected role of the partner includes active participation in all phases of the project, from proposal development to implementation, monitoring and reporting.

Partners are expected to contribute to the recruitment and selection of both host entrepreneurs within their respective regions, ensuring the engagement of motivated participants who meet programme requirements. This includes promoting the programme through regional channels, organising information events, maintaining communication with interested entrepreneurs and supporting them throughout the application process.

During implementation, partners should provide structured support to entrepreneurs, facilitate the matching process with host organisations, and monitor the quality and progress of exchanges. This includes administrative coordination, mentoring activities, periodic reporting, and maintaining compliance with programme standards. A high level of organisational capacity, experience in mobility schemes, and the ability to manage cross-border exchange processes will be essential.

Additionally, partners are expected to contribute to joint communication and dissemination activities. This involves sharing programme news, publishing success stories, contributing to consortium-level communication platforms, and strengthening visibility within the European entrepreneurial ecosystem.

The organisation also values partners who can offer sector-specific expertise, established local or regional business networks, mentoring capabilities, or added-value services for entrepreneurs. Contributions to the development of training tools, mentoring frameworks or digital coordination instruments will be considered a strong advantage.

All partners should demonstrate readiness for long-term collaboration, transparent and timely communication, active participation in consortium meetings, and a commitment to ensuring high-quality programme delivery.
