Communication activities
In the last two years, CCI Lyon staff has gained a great deal of experience in managing and implementing several transnational projects, co-financed under COSME, Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs and ERASMUS+ programme - focused on various sectors (food, tourism, green business, entrepreneurship, creative and cultural industries, health sector).
In implementing the on-going ERASMUS KA2 projects, CCI Lyon stimulates, supports and offers advice to people who wish to become entrepreneurs; train students in entrepreneurial competences based on ‘learning by doing’; help new business start-ups and also offer information to young entrepreneurs who wish to internationalize their business.

CCI Lyon has extensive experience in placements of students in enterprises and has direct working connections with young entrepreneurs and hosting entrepreneurs, which is relevant to the main activities of the project. In line with the objectives of the EYE program, MOBILITAS EP provide New Entrepreneurs with an instrument (of real entrepreneurial life) to increase and develop the skills, competences and knowledge necessary to start their business or to better manage their company (discovering obstacles and challenges to overcome), thanks to the tutorship/mentorship/guidance of an experienced entrepreneur and the example of successful entrepreneurial stories. CCI Lyon is already in contact on a daily basis with entrepreneurs (young and experienced), both for ordinary activity or for the current involvement in previous EYE cycles, so this factor facilitates the access to them (1100 entrepreneurs in the EP database of participants).
Currently, CCIE Lyon is implementing eight projects under Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic Partnership (GreenB, M.IN.D., PULSE, ICCI), Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs (Mobilitas 7, Mobilitas2021), COSME (Well-O-live /COSME COS-WP2014-3-15.03) and Pilot Project “Youth on the SPOT – Special Partnership for Tourism” (IdEATE).Other activities
