Are you an entrepreneur, ideator, designer or  activist that is ready to take bold steps toward shaping the future? But you feel the pressure to do everything at once? The constant noise from social media telling you who you should be? 

​

Then this program is for you!

 

​Next Gen Innovate is a 9-week program for youngsters from North Macedonia and Austria (up to 29 years), guiding participants through challenges and opening new ways of making a real change.  It’s a space for you to explore, experiment, and see your ideas differently, without the pressure to have it all figured out.
Co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ Programme
Program Duration: April 1 – May 27, 2026
 

Kick off is on 12th and 13th February in Vienna. We are super excited to welcome you there to the Next Gen Innovate training: a series of sessions and workshops on impact entrepreneurship, digital marketing, sustainability, and leadership. 
 
We are going to engage with the latest ideas, emerging trends, and innovative approaches, alongside peers from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. This is a space for exchange, collaboration, and experimentation, where diverse perspectives come together to explore what it truly means to create impact: whether through new ventures, community initiatives, art or fresh ways of thinking.
​​This training is all about hands-on learning and mind-opening. You’ll get to explore the latest trends, share your own projects, test new ideas, and learn from each other in a truly collaborative space. Everyone brings something unique: your experiences, your creativity, your perspective and together we’ll spark and try out bold approaches and solutions to the pressing issues of our time.
 By the end of the workshops, we aim for you to leave with new connections, fresh insights, and practical skills, ready to apply what you’ve explored in ways that resonate in your own context. We are excited to embark on this journey with you and can’t wait to see the ideas, projects, and innovations that emerge from this training!

We have prepared a 9-week online program for young entrepreneurs, innovators & changemakers who are curious about their ideas and the impact they could create. This program will support you to develop and refine your ideas, explore, experiment, and see your ideas differently.

Within the program, a Hackathon will also be organized in North Macedonia, bringing together the best participants from the training phase. During this event, participants will further develop and refine their ideas and concepts in detail. They will also have the opportunity to present their projects to relevant leaders and stakeholders from the startup ecosystem.
