ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
In November 2022, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in cooperation with Alter Modus, launched the Youth in Business Programme in Montenegro. The Youth in Business Programme provides micro, small and medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurs majority-owned or managed by people under the age of 35 with access to the necessary knowledge, skills, financing and other key resources essential to overcome challenges and reach full potential. Alter Modus was the first and only financial institution in Montenegro which approves loans within the YiB Programme. For development of entrepreneurs among the youth it is of essential importance to give incentive – not only in material sense but through education, mentorship and networking as well. Combining financial and nonfinancial resources young entrepreneurs get opportunity to achieve their business ambitions and contribute to economic development of the community. The financial support for the YiB Programme, in form of funds for technical cooperation, was ensured by Sweden through Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency; by Italy through the Central European Initiative and Luxembourg through EBRD fund for impact on small enterprises.
