€10M funding for Web Entrepreneurship
1. Accelerate web entrepreneurship in Europe: • New cross-border services to support web entrepreneurs connecting existing local web entrepreneurship ecosystems and hubs. The services should help promising web startups to launch and scale up their operations across Europe.
• We aim at creating cross borders environments composed of a few highly integrated local ecosystems (3-4 local ecosystems?) where the members of the individual ecosystems feel as belonging to the new cross border environment created by the project.
