It is the second year of  Startup Europe Week in Crete. After its excellent impact in Chania last year, Youth Entrepreneurship Club, managed to travel throughout the island with the help of volunteers, sponsors, supporters and institutions.

In fact this year’s conference had an even richer content with more sessions, constructive information and parallel workshops.

Youth Entrepreneurship Club addressed a call to everyone interested in sharing the vision and participating either as a member or a volunteer in YEC actions. The club aims to make information and entrepreneurial tools so accessible, that the only obstacle in achieving one’s dreams is only a matter of personal will.

At any rate, as the representative of Youth Entrepreneurship Club, Thanos Paraschos stated: “ We can produce value from scratch, investing in the human asset”.
