Duration
12 months
Description
The after effects and long-term consequences of conflict continue to impact economic development and peace opportunities in Southeast Europe. Youth unemployment is around 50 percent for the region. The lack of economic opportunity has resulted in an increasing brain drain. Accounts of rising nationalism increased by the refugee and migration difficulties facing Europe have raised tensions. With a history of conflict and a continued need for reconciliation and stability initiatives, Network 20/20 is working in the region to support economic opportunity for young entrepreneurs under the premise of a connection to economic improvement, and peace and stability. The project will focus on the creation of jobs in the small and medium enterprise sectors. It will focus on in-licensing (in which companies take on some of the financial or technological burdens associated with developing a product, then get to share in its returns), commercial ready innovative technologies for rapid commercialization and job creation.
