A response to the European Commission's COSME, RETTE
proposes to bring together ten partners in six countries most
vulnerable to losing young professionals who leave their
regions for more prosperous regions and where there are
more jobs. The project creates a series of resource nodes
strategically located in those areas most vulnerable to
population loss, projected at 10% in the next five years in
the hardest hit areas of the Baltic region and similar rates
elsewhere. Upon completion of the 36-month project, the
resource nodes will be transformed into regional hubs, able
to reach out to communities in close proximity wanting to
replicate the model in their areas.
An emigration crisis is brewing in the Southern,Eastern and Baltic flanks of Europe, especially acute in rural areas, that requires a new model to create and support small business enterprises to hire, increase revenues, secure capital, innovate and create meaningful impact in their communities. RETTE (Reversing Emigration Trends Through Entrepreneurship)
seeks to engage our consortium partners as hub actors for
their region to provide a mix of training and support to promote and accelerate entrepreneurship that co-creates sustainable,
inclusive social and economic prosperity. Partners supporting
the hubs form relationships and identify needs within their regions to orchestrate joint work around which entrepreneurship ecosystems in their region can bloom and grow. This creates
a re-imagined social innovation sphere that addresses the fact that decades of economic development and public policy have not led to equitable outcomes and constitutes the root problem
of the emigration crisis.
RETTE empowers our hubs as “social extrapreneurs” that connect players to form a social innovation ecosystem to
support an entrepreneurship education training model, which in turn empowers entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs in creating ventures that add value to others and adds jobs to the local
economy, prepares young professionals for the local labor market to deter emigration, and adds value to local efforts
toward economic development.
