Ecosys4you - Engaging entrepreneurial ecosystems for the youth

Ecosys4you is a welcoming community looking forward to engaging with young entrepreneurial people. Ecosys4you connects the entrepreneurial ecosystems of the regions Ruhr in Germany, Varna in Bulgaria, and Maribor in Slovenia based on an innovative entrepreneurial education programme and international learning-by-doing activities. Established private, public and educational actors of the three entrepreneurial ecosystems engage with young people to arouse their entrepreneurial curiosity and help develop their entrepreneurial ideas.
