eGREEN SEEK PLUS is a consortium under the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs Programme, bringing together partners from nine countries (Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, France, Ireland, Albania, Turkey, and Cyprus). Building on five years of experience from SEEK and SEEK PLUS, it supports new entrepreneurs in launching or growing their businesses while championing the triple transition — digital, green, and social. Young entrepreneurs act as “digital sustainable transition ambassadors,” driving competitiveness and sustainability across European enterprises. 

C.I.P. Citizens in Power is the Intermediary organization for the EU program Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) in Cyprus. 

Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs helps ambitious European entrepreneurs to acquire the necessary skills to successfully start and/or run a small business in Europe. Young entrepreneurs meet and exchange knowledge and business ideas with an experienced entrepreneur, with whom they live and work for a period of 1-6 months.
