NEWS: The DEM Project Heads to Vienna – A New Chapter Begins!
The Digital Entrepreneurship Mentoring (DEM) project has been steadily building momentum across Europe, and this September marks an exciting turning point.
Over the past months, mentors in Spain, Türkiye, and Austria have been guiding disadvantaged youth through digital entrepreneurship mentoring sessions. In Spain, the first cycle has successfully wrapped up, with mentees completing the program and sharing enthusiastic feedback about the skills they’ve gained and the confidence they’ve built. Meanwhile, sessions continue in Türkiye and Austria, where young participants are still deep in their learning journey, step by step transforming their innovative ideas into concrete plans.
And now, a new adventure awaits. This week, our participants are traveling to Vienna, ready to immerse themselves in an international exchange that promises to be both inspiring and enriching. Over the coming days, they will take part in lectures and workshops on entrepreneurship, visit Austrian Startups, explore the University of Vienna and the Parliament, and experience the vibrant energy of the Startup House, a hub where innovation thrives.
One of the most anticipated moments will be the motivational talks from entrepreneurs, who will share their journeys, challenges, and successes. These stories will not only inspire the participants on-site but will also be shared soon with our wider community — so everyone can benefit from their wisdom and passion.
The DEM project is more than just training and mentoring; it’s about creating opportunities, building bridges between countries, and showing disadvantaged youth that they too can have a place in Europe’s digital future. As Vienna welcomes our participants, we’re reminded that this is just the beginning of a much bigger journey.
Stay tuned — the voices and experiences from Vienna will soon be here to inspire us all.
