Grow your business across borders with CE3 Funding!

 

After a careful review, it has been noticed that students hardly consider international activities in their start-up projects. Interreg CE3 - the Crossborder Entrepreneurial Energy Education project - has been established between Germany and the Netherlands with goal of making students of the participating regions, with support from BABLE, aware of cross-border entrepreneurship at an early stage when developing their start-up projects.

 

If you are a Student enrolled in a University in Baden-Württemberg and are thinking of starting your own business, take this opportunity to develop your start-up idea and expand your world!

In times of home isolation, you might have more time available to think, so use this chance to come up with an innovative idea, to build your prototype, to engage with coaching and to turn your start-up into an international business.

 

Within the CE3 Interreg project, BABLE has established an open call that provides funding for your start-up activities across borders.
