Enhancing Youth Entrepreneurship in Argentina by Leveraging its Diaspora

Washington, DC, USA, May 4, 2009

Enhancing Youth Entrepreneurship in Argentina
At the beginning of 2008, the World Bank partnered with two Argentine NGOs to implement Mendoza Emprende, an innovative pilot program for the development of youth entrepreneurship that capitalizes on the knowledge and experience of highly-skilled Argentine professionals residing abroad. The program was implemented in the province of Mendoza between May and December of 2008.

This presentation describes the project's design and how it was implemented, and its outcomes.
