Abstract
Innovation and entrepreneurship are among the top priority areas of the European Union in order to exit the economical crisis and assure sustainable and profitable growth and competitiveness on a global level. Although more and more entrepreneurship training and education programs exist in different EU countries, there is little cross-country cooperation and complementary among these activities. This paper introduces a European approach to a certified entrepreneurship training program that has been established in a consortium of several European training and education organisations. This program has been implemented around the long-term mission of empowering people to make ideas become real in the European context.
