The application of the system “NEMO” will be implemented during the exhibition of the “Antikythera Mechanism”. The “Young Entrepreneur” we hosted is cooperating with us and he belongs to our project-team. According to what I have just mentioned, there are many benefits”. Could you please tell us something about the application procedure? The process is quite simple; you just visit the website of the programme and follow the instructions. It takes up to one hour to complete and submit successfully your application. It is important to define your needs properly so that the “Host Entrepreneur” finds the suitable “Young Entrepreneur” and vice versa. Our case is amongst the “Success Stories” exactly for this reason. We invest in R&D and the “Young Entrepreneur” is interested in R&D, so, there are multiple benefits for both. Are you still in contact with the young entrepreneurs you have already hosted? Until now, I hosted only one and as I have told you before we are still cooperating in the “NEMO” project, and also in other fields. The “Young Entrepreneur” gained a lot, he had presented his ideas and his business plans in “venture capitals” in California. We worked together in those ideas at a business level. Now, he is getting his funding for a new business start-up in the beginning of the year. The programme helped you to expand your activities in other markets or look for partners in other countries of Europe? Until now, the programme has not helped me a lot in those fields, however, the fact that I have a partner who is based abroad, it gives me new perspectives. If he moves to the USA, maybe, he will be my “Host Entrepreneur”. Finally, would you recommend to a SME to host a young entrepreneur? “Of course, especially to the small sized businesses, there is a range of benefits for them and the added value is huge”. Thank you for your time.
