EU PRO Plus presents a Public Call for Supporting Women and Youth Start-ups through Procurement of Equipment and Introduction of Services

In order to contribute to the increase of employment and the competitiveness of the local economy in the 43 least developed municipalities included in the programme, the European Union allocated funds of 375,000 Euros for the purchase of new equipment and the introduction of services with the aim of encouraging entrepreneurship among women and young people.

The entrepreneurs and micro and small businesses owned by women or youth, registered in 2022 or after, are also eligible to participate.
