In our previous webinar on this topic, we centered our attention on the entrepreneurial landscape of Northern Europe. Now, it's time to shift our focus to the South, particularly Spain and Italy. The entrepreneurial drive continues to thrive across Europe, with a growing number of young adults of all genders embracing entrepreneurship. Over the past few years, there has been a noticeable surge in startups led by individuals under 25, contributing to a significant uptick in business launches compared to half a decade ago. However, despite this promising trajectory, there remains ample opportunity for further expansion and enhancement within the entrepreneurial landscape.
A multitude of organizations are proactively stepping up to support and empower all aspiring entrepreneurs, regardless of gender. These initiatives encompass a wide array of resources, including access to venture capital funding, mentorship programs, and grants. Furthermore, the European Union is actively championing inclusivity by encouraging entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds to seize startup funding opportunities, thereby ensuring equitable access to essential resources.
Embark on a journey with our panel of seasoned experts from the Grants Office as they navigate through the premier funding avenues available to entrepreneurs across Europe, with a specific emphasis on the vibrant landscapes of Italy and Spain. Each panelist will illuminate the strategic priorities of local grantmakers, showcase exemplary application models, and impart invaluable insights on how to elevate your proposal's standing in these pivotal regions.
