Iván Andrés Mejía Pérez (Spain/Social Entrepreneurship) and José Santos (Portugal/Social Entrepreneurship)

Iván Andrés Mejía Pérez (NE): „The program for young entrepreneurs is a tool that helped me to perfect my business plan with which I applied, and to have a specific and achievable vision about it. It is a program in which you work hand in hand with an experienced entrepreneur, who will be your guide during the exchange. Here I understood the difference between theory and implementation, and that is that practice requires you to be a proactive person who is in constant interaction with the dynamics and demands of the market. Also, this program offers you the opportunity to learn by doing, which is very interesting and keeps you motivated to continue. In the end, you will be a more focused and professional person.“ Weiterlesen …
