Competition “Create County”
Competition, Create County

Erasmus+ project “Competition, Create Country” in Latvia and Lithuania.
“Create for the Region” is a cross-border entrepreneurship competition aimed at Latvian and Lithuanian students, designed to foster practical business experience, personal responsibility, and regional development. The competition encourages university support and media attention while helping students improve their future career prospects.
The project’s long-term vision is to become a European-wide platform for mobilizing youth creativity and university resources to generate economic value. It promotes international collaboration, with students forming cross-border teams to build globally relevant companies using local strengths.
The project is structured in three phases:
- Team application and selection (3–6 months)
- Business plan development
- Implementation of ideas (1–2 years), potentially leading to real startups or contributions to existing businesses.
The first pilot includes 200 students from 20 universities across 30 regions in Latvia and Lithuania. Organizers provide support and guidance but leave training to universities. By the end, the project aims to create 30 jobs, 15 companies, and generate €1 million in business investments.
The medium-term goal is for the project to become financially independent and active in at least 10 EU countries, offering a sustainable solution to local economic challenges by harnessing student energy and innovation.
