Association for Affirmation of Culture (ASK) has opened the call for the sixth Academy of Entrepreneurship, implemented with the support of the NCR Foundation. This is a unique educational program designed for young people aged 18 to 35 who want to develop their business idea or take their first steps into the world of entrepreneurship. The application deadline is February 5th.
The Academy of Entrepreneurship is conducted within the project Digital Economy for a Balanced and Resilient Economic Development, and every year it brings together ambitious young people who want to build a sustainable and modern business model. The program is completely free for twenty selected participants or businesses, making it a rare opportunity for young people to access knowledge and mentorship without financial burden.
Open Day and Program
The Open Day event will take place on January 29th, giving interested participants the chance to learn more about the program, meet the lecturers, and connect with previous participants.
After the application deadline, the evaluation and selection process will take place until the beginning of February, when the new generation of participants will be formed.
The educational process begins with the Accelerator, scheduled for the second half of February. During this intensive module, participants work on developing their ideas with the support of lecturers and mentors, shape their business models, and learn how to prepare their concepts for the market. This is followed by the project work period, which continues until the Master Seminar at the end of April, where knowledge is deepened and teams prepare their final presentations.
The program concludes in early June with an event where participants present the results of their work and receive awards and certificates of participation.
An opportunity for those who have an idea – and for those just starting to think about business
The call is open to young people who have a business idea in its early stage, as well as those who are still shaping it. No prior experience is required—only motivation, willingness to work, and a desire to develop the idea into a real project. The program provides support in areas such as business modeling, marketing, financial planning, digital tools, and presentation skills.
Previous generations of participants have developed a range of successful projects—from startups to digital services—making this academy one of the most successful initiatives in youth entrepreneurship education.
