Registration for the free entrepreneurial skills courses begins on Tuesday, April 15, at 10:00 am, according to a press release from the Ministry of Economy, Digitalization, Entrepreneurship and Tourism (MEDAT).

The courses are intended for people who want to develop essential skills to set up and run a successful business in Romania. Completing the courses is one of the eligibility conditions for obtaining non-reimbursable financing of maximum 250,000 lei/beneficiary under the program, under the conditions that only companies set up by individuals after the date of graduation from the course are eligible.

The official registration platform is available at https://minimis.imm.gov.ro and will allow simple and fast registration for all applicants. The courses are completely free of charge. Each applicant will have the opportunity to select from the list of training providers contracted by MEDAT, displayed in alphabetical order, the location and format in which they wish to conduct the course.

Currently, MEDAT is in the final stage of signing contracts with training providers, with the places remaining unoccupied (due to some bidders withdrawing from contracts) to be redistributed by signing addenda, which will lead to the dynamic updating of the number of available training places.

The Ministry specifies that vocational training providers who have signed vocational training contracts and who, following the redistribution of trainees, are eligible to sign additional documents, will be notified via the electronic platform. The press release reiterates that all correspondence will be conducted via the application https://minimis.imm.gov.ro.

For additional information, interested persons can access the unique call-center number 021 9059, specially created to answer specific questions.

The Start-Up Nation program is an important initiative of the Romanian Government, which supports the start-up and development of small and medium-sized businesses in Romania, with the aim of promoting a sustainable and innovative entrepreneurial ecosystem.
