YSBF has been dealing with several projects on how to promote knowledge of young people and on issues related to promotion of creativity and innovative thinking to promote entrepreneurship as a career choice among young people and disadvantaged groups in the society. We hope to be helpful in providing more opportunities to young people with the help of entrepreneurship promotion and setting a footing for more elaborate possibilities of work for young people, especially for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds (e.g. migrants).

Since the establishment of YSBF in 2001, we have received funding for our projects from EU-funds, private sector companies, Estonian government and international organisations. We are based in Tallinn, Estonia, but our projects are mostly international. We have more than 18 years of experience in projects related to young people, science, technology and dissemination of novel ideas.

YSBF considers it very important to involve into our activities various groups in society – including young people with disadvantaged background. Providing equal opportunities and fostering intercultural dialogue helps to overcome differences in Europe and within societies.

YSBF has been active in several projects, which help to promote entrepreneurship and innovation related topics in schools, companies and in wider society.
