Erasmus+ EUCA-INVEST Project

General Information:
The youth of Georgia and Kyrgyzstan face low labor market engagement and a lack of opportunities to develop entrepreneurial skills. In response to these challenges, the EUCA-INVEST project aims to strengthen the entrepreneurial potential of students and graduates by offering formal and informal educational initiatives to create a creative environment. The project's primary goal is to foster an entrepreneurial culture and a creative approach within higher education in Georgia and Kyrgyzstan, as well as to strengthen ties between universities and the business sector.

Project Goal:

The creation of a network of creative laboratories, CreaLABs, in Georgia and Kyrgyzstan, which will serve as platforms for the emergence and development of student business ideas. These labs will support collaboration between universities and enterprises, fostering innovation and socio-economic development in partner countries.
