Specific Objective 1.2

More entrepreneurial youth

This specific objective aims to use the potential of the young generation to make the Central Baltic region more entrepreneurial and competitive in the coming years. Joint Central Baltic activities will be based on good experience supporting youth entrepreneurship and attracting young people to engage into cross-border and international activities.
