Leaders for Future Project – Kick of meeting in Montenegro

On 2–3 April, the consortium held its first transnational project meeting in Podgorica, Montenegro. This marked not only the operational launch of the project, but also the first occasion on which all partners met in person. The meeting provided a valuable opportunity to establish personal connections, align expectations, and set the groundwork for an effective and collaborative implementation phase. The TPM was very well organised by the host partner, NVO PRIMA, creating a welcoming and productive environment. The experience was highly positive for all participants.

During the meeting, each partner presented their institutional role and contributions to the project. Key discussions focused on the design of the training methodology, mentoring schemes, and the development of safe and inclusive physical and digital spaces for young female entrepreneurs. 

The consortium is composed of youth organisations, innovation hubs, and business incubators from across Europe, bringing diverse expertise in entrepreneurship education, youth empowerment, and inclusion. Together, we will collaborate to deliver targeted training, mentoring opportunities, and supportive environments specifically designed for young women.

Project partners include:

  • Open Europe (Spain)
  • YYOUTH (Norway)
  • ReadLab (Greece)
  • STEP+ (Kosovo)
  • INTERA TechPark (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
  • NVO PRIMA (Montenegro)
  • Albacademy (Albania)

Among the project’s main outcomes is the creation of permanent support points for young women entrepreneurs in each partner country. These hubs will provide access to professional guidance, peer collaboration, and ongoing mentorship. In addition, an international business plan competition will be launched, culminating in a final event in Spain where selected participants will present their entrepreneurial ideas.

Further updates on the project’s progress and upcoming opportunities will be shared shortly. Leaders for Future is a concrete step toward fostering inclusive entrepreneurship and strengthening the role of young women in Europe’s innovation and economic development sectors.
