Quotes of the NE
“I am grateful for this opportunity: the EYE Programme gave me the possibility to learn from an experienced professional and I discovered there were many aspects I did not fully consider and develop in my business plan. Such an experience can really open your eyes and make you aware of many skills you do have and of many skills you need to further work on.”
“Getting in contact with so many stakeholders (business incubators, innovation clusters, industrial poles and networks) made me realize there were many more services I could offer on the Romanian market.”
Quote of the HE
“The cooperation has been enthusiastically carried out on both sides. The NE is open, skilled, organized and extremely efficient. I believe this cooperation will help him overcome the lack of experience, as this is the only aspect he needs to improve.”
