Description

Description (BG):

Общата цел напроекта е да се подобри бизнес средата и да се увеличат съвместните инициативи за икономическо сътрудничество в трансграничния регион. Проектът създава "Център за млади предприемачи", който допринася за укрепване на сътрудничеството между партньорите от трансграничния регион. Проектът осигурява достъп до информационно-комуникационни технологии на безработни младежи в неравностойно положение. Провежда се обучение на младежите в посока към усъвършенстване на техните знания и умения, за увеличане шансовете им да развият собствен бизнес. Постигането на целта ще се извърши чрез насърчаване на младите хора от двете страни на границата да създават нови предприятия, чрез провеждане на обучения или чрез оказване на експертна подкрепа при управлението на вече създадени предприятия. Това води до нови форми на сътрудничество, улесняване на контактите, изграждане на мрежи, обмяна на опит за управление и маркетинг. В рамките на проекта се провеждат два тридневни бизнес-лагери, съответно в България и Македония. За по-нататъшно развитие на първоначално представените предприемачески идеи на бизнес-лагерите, ще се създаде мрежа от четири екипа, като всеки екип ще бъде формиран и подкрепян от подходящ ментор.

Општата цел на проектот е да се подобри бизнис климата и да се зголеми бројот на заеднички иницијативи за економска соработка во прекуграничниот регион. Ќе биде основан "Центар за млади претприемачи" кој ќе придонесе за продлабочување на соработката меѓу партнерите од пограничниот регион. Проектот ќе обезбеди пристап до ИКТ и други технологии за младите кои се во неповолна положба на невработеност кои преку обуки и информации ќе ги подобрат своите знаења и вештини со цел да ги зголемат своите шанси за развој на сопствен бизнис. Целта ќе се постигне преку стимулирање на младите луѓе од двете страни на границата преку создавање на нови претпријатија преку обука или поддршка на раководството на веќе постоечките претпријатија. Ова ќе се одрази во создавањето на форми на соработка, олеснување на контактите, вмрежување, обука за менаџмент и маркетинг. Во рамките на проектот ќе се организираат два бизнис кампови (во траење од три дена) во Бугарија и Македонија. За понатамошен развој на претприемачките идеи презентирани на првиот бизнис камп, ќе биде создадена мрежа од четири екипи, секоја поддржана од соодветен ментор.
