- **Event Description**: Want new ideas and global connections? Discover how hosting a European entrepreneur can spark fresh thinking in your business.About this EventHost a European EntrepreneurGreat ideas often come from meeting new people and encountering different perspectives. Hosting a European entrepreneur creates space for exactly that.Through the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs program, Canadian companies can connect with early‑stage founders from across Europe. These founders spend one to three months inside a host business, contributing their skills, sharing new approaches, and building real working relationships.Hosts benefit in several meaningful ways: You gain fresh market insights, explore new international opportunities, and engage directly in cross‑border activities. At the same time, working alongside a motivated founder can strengthen your company’s growth potential by introducing new ideas, energy, and ways of thinking. Throughout the process, professional intermediary organizations help match you with the right entrepreneur to ensure a smooth collaboration. You also gain added visibility and credibility through the official Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs labels and certification.And since the European Union provides financial assistance directly to the visiting entrepreneur, there is no cost for hosts beyond the time they choose to invest.This session will walk you through how the program works in Canada, what hosting looks like in practice, and why so many organizations use it to spark innovation and explore international opportunities. There’s also a chance to meet Spanish EYE program managers from the Instituto Tecnológico de Canarias and explore opportunities for international business collaboration.The event is a good fit for small and medium‑sized businesses, founders, innovation‑driven teams, and anyone interested in global collaboration or future market expansion. If new ideas, new connections, or a simple path into European markets are on your radar, this event offers a practical place to start.Agenda🕑: 03:00 PM - 03:05 PMArrival and Opening RemarksHost: Lucy Haentschel, ECCIR, Director of Operations🕑: 03:05 PM - 03:15 PMEdmonton Chamber of CommerceHost: Heather Thomson, VP Economy and EngagementInfo: Introduction and Local Relevance of the Program🕑: 03:15 PM - 03:35 PMAbout ECCIR & EEN CanadaHost: Lucy Haentschel, ECCIR, Director of OperationsInfo: Organizational Overview + Supporting Entrepreneurs through the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) Program🕑: 03:35 PM - 04:30 PMInstituto Tecnológico de CanariasHost: Alma Cruz Díez, Head of Innovation DepartmentInfo: Institutional Overview and Areas of Expertise + Deep-Dive into the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) Program🕑: 04:30 PM - 04:45 PMSuccess StoryHost: Nitin Kumar, CEO VanLonChan Consulting Inc.Info: Hands-on Experience from a Host Entrepreneur🕑: 04:45 PM - 05:30 PMNetworking Mocktail
