On 17 October 2024, a Multiplier Event took place in Vienna, Austria, within the Erasmus+ project NGOE – Next Generation of Entrepreneurs, hosted by ÖJAB.
The event „Zukunft durch Bildung: Erasmus+, Entrepreneurship und Lebenslanges Lernen“ was jointly organised by ÖJAB, dieBerater, ipcenter.at, VHS, ibis acam, Bit Schulungscenter,, and was registered as part of the 8th annual #ErasmusDays.
Mr Laszlo Kovacs from ipcenter delivered a compelling keynote on entrepreneurship, emphasising the importance of innovation and entrepreneurial thinking as drivers of the future. This was followed by an interactive discussion round where participants explored current trends and challenges in lifelong learning and labour market needs, sparking meaningful dialogue on how to make educational programmes accessible and relevant across various age groups.

The event also included a focused presentation on the project NGOE – Next Generation of Entrepreneurs, showcasing its significant outcomes.
Attendees received a concise overview of the project’s results, including each result's content and objectives, emphasising NGOE's contribution to fostering an entrepreneurial mindset among young people:
• PR1 - Entrepreneurial Skills Framework: Identified key skills for fostering youth entrepreneurship globally.
