Young people with promising business ideas abound in the Mediterranean region. However, young entrepreneurs encounter severe credit constraints and gathering enough money to start or scale up their enterprise is often impossible. MEDSt@rts wants to help young people jump that deterrent hurdle. To do so, the project will develop an innovative supporting model to facilitate access to funding for “non-bankable” people. It will target strongly committed young Mediterranean people with innovative business ideas, either in initial or consolidation stage. Scouting, training and funding will be the three main steps of MEDSt@arts approach, and, as a result, new MSMEs will be launched in each participating country and new jobs will be created.
The development of a new model of business support, inspired by ethical finance and solidarity principles, will allow many young and women’s entrepreneurs to create, develop and run their own enterprises. Eventually, the project will lead to the creation of 75 new enterprises by participating country and up to 225 new jobs.
