The EEA and Norway Grants are funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. The Grants have two goals – to contribute to a more equal Europe, both socially and economically – and to strengthen the relations between Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, and the 15 Beneficiary States in Europe.
Youth Business International (YBI) was one of eight organisations delivering the Young Entrepreneurs Succeed (YES!) programme, funded by the EEA and Norway Grants. Through the sharing of knowledge and experience, the programme aimed to support underserved youth (25-30) in Greece, Italy, Poland and Spain to start and grow a business or find a job. Participants benefitted from dedicated, highly specialised financial and non-financial business development services, including training, coaching, access to finance, and mentoring.
