Go Business offers entrepreneurs exchanges abroad

Piteå The Go Business incubator is joining forces with consulting firm European Minds and the EU's Erasmus exchange program. Prospective and new entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to stay with an experienced small business owner in another country. 

By participating in the Erasmus exchange program for new entrepreneurs, participants can gain knowledge about entrepreneurship in general, learn more about foreign markets, develop partnerships and cross-border business, as well as gain insight into different cultures and improve their language skills.

"We believe that an exchange with entrepreneurs from other countries would be very valuable for those who want to boost their business. The inspiration and knowledge our participants receive will increase the possibility of new ways of thinking, developing and driving their business forward and can also lead to rewarding collaborations and networking in both the short and long term," says Andreas Eklund, Head of Operations at Go Business.

Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs is an EU-funded exchange program. European Minds manages the program for northern Sweden.

"Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs offers you who are thinking of starting or have recently started your business to participate in the exchange program. Therefore, our cooperation with Go Business is very well suited where there are already many driven entrepreneurs who want to take their business further. You can apply regardless of industry or age and the person who goes gets a grant that covers travel and expenses. The exchange must be at least one month long, but many choose to stay three to five months," says Susanne Marklund of European Minds.

Go Business is a fully digital incubator in northern Sweden, based at Piteå Science Park, in Piteå municipality. By working digitally and remotely, they want to give more people in the large and sparsely populated regions of Norrbotten and Västerbotten, wherever they live, the opportunity to develop and live on their business ideas.
