The start-up program is intended to support the development of business ideas (focus on observed opportunities), business registration, work in the first months of work, training and mentoring support up to the moment of maturation. The target group of the Start-up program are potential entrepreneurs (18-35 years of age), that is, persons already intending to engage in entrepreneurship from the wider Gorazde area (BPK). The program does not target exclusively unemployed people, but young people from the Gorazde (BPK) area who are interested in starting a business.
Some of the potential sectors for starting a business are: the IT sector as a fast growing sector in BiH and the region, a small business sector that would meet the needs of existing major companies, the business sector related to tourism needs, agribusiness, and other recognized opportunities in other sectors.
