"Entrepreneurship is a professional work model which is no longer confined to a specific group of people; by contrast, individuals and teams from various backgrounds and with a number of different motivations choose to follow this path. Support services in Europe need to be better equipped to handle this rich diversity."

The development of new tools for ESF/ERDF Managing authorities to enhance inclusive entrepreneurship;
Providing policy recommendations that help to enable decision-makers to widen their entrepreneurship policy scope.
Although I am currently not working for a specific organisation/region, through my work as an EU project manager I came across a number of excellent ESF/ERDF supported entrepreneurship initiatives, both by private organisations and by public authorities. What is crucial though is keeping them alive once the funding period ends, no matter if the initiative is part of a public or a private body’s portfolio. This is why consistent planning and designing effective sustainability strategies are the keys for me.
