BIOSTEAM - Youth Entrepreneurship Program based on biomimetic approach
BIOSTEAM targets young people that are close to their entry into the labor market and facing a choice for their future professional development or those that have already taken the decision to start a business but need guidance in their first steps. According to the GEM Report 2019, the age period between 20 and 30 years is the most frequent for youth to engage with entrepreneurial activities. The proposed merge between biomimetics and entrepreneurial training will guarantee the long-term environmental engagement of the future generations and an economic development that secures sustainability and addresses climate change. The project, co-funded by the ERASMUS+ programme, will help reducing youth unemployment rates and increase the international collaborations between young Europeans and between professionals from the education and youth work sectors.
