Between 2017-2020 APOPSI ROMANIA implemented the Startup Diaspora Greece project, that was addressed to Romanians living in Greece who would like to return to Romania and establish their own businesses.
The project was financed through the EU Structural Funds managed by the Romanian Government under Operational Programme (OP) “Human Capital” for the implementation of the European Social Fund, period 2014-2020 and was implemented along with two other partners.
The project offered professional training to 210 entrepreneurs who intended to launch start-ups in Romania. The 210 proposed business plans competed with each other and the best 25 received financing through the project, established in urban less-developed areas of Romania and were supported to become self-sustainable.
Under this project, APOPSI ROMANIA SA offered the following activities:
- Design and development of the training curriculum for the target group
- Development of training material according to identified training needs
- Dissemination of results
- Assistance with creation and implementation of new business plans
- Counseling and mentoring of new entrepreneurs
- Monitoring the activities of new businesses/entrepreneurs.
