Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Enterprise Board invites you to participate in the 'Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs' (EYE) initiative. This innovative business support programme enables a new entrepreneur to exchange skills, knowledge and contacts with the owner of a more established host enterprise in another European Union member state. 'Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs' is financed by the European Commission and has been operating successfully since 2009.

Grant Payments of up to €1,100 per month are available to support your placement. So whether it's Paris or London, Milan or Barcelona, let us know your preferred destination and sector and work to find a host business for you! Table of Grant Aid Available (By Country)
Opportunties for Host Entrepreneurs - How it Works
