Special events and activities
As stated in Axis no.2 " autonomy, decent employment and youth entrepreneurship”, one of the main objectives of the Youth Strategy 2030 is to encourage entrepreneurship culture.
Among the national activities for the promotion of entrepreneurship culture it is worth mentioning the National Contest of Young Entrepreneurs (Certamen Nacional de Jóvenes Emprendedores). Organised by the Youth Institute, young entrepreneurs less than 35 years of age with entrepreneurial projects may participate.
One of the objectives of the Spain as an Entrepreneurial Nation Strategy is to promote closer links between Vocational Training, the University and emerging companies and to contribute to increasing the transfer of technological knowledge from the University to the business world.
The Autonomous Regions also launch programmes and actions to promote entrepreneurship culture:
- Programa de emprendimiento de Asturias (Asturias entrepreneurship programme)
