QUOTES
I strongly feel that this programme is a great opportunity both for the New Entrepreneur and the Host Entrepreneur, representing – besides a cultural exchange – a learning process for all. I recommend this experience to anyone having the goal to built up and manage a business; being also a great chance to discover – through collaboration and working on complex projects – numerous principles about the field you’re interested in.
The major benefits are: getting familiar with the other entrepreneur’s cultural background, sharing of ideas, getting to know other ways of thinking and handling tasks, the opportunity for future collaborations. Moreover, the NE has also the benefit of being in such an environment, where he/she can gain knowledge about the field she/he is interested in.
